RL-Loader 2 – Software (Free)
xThis free Windows based software package will run on Windows XP or later. RL-Loader is used to configure and download data from the RainLog. Data is displayed in both text and graphical formats and can be printed or exported directly into Microsoft Excel. The device info window gives you vital information about the RainLog, such as time, date and amount of memory used. The text window displays daily totals or the list of rainfall events as they occur.

Package Options
Collector, Mounting Post and Level Indicator ( RainLogger )
The RainLogger is a complete package containing a RainLog data logger, RL-Loader 2 software and polypropylene rain collector and mounting mast. The tipping bucket rain gauge is calibrated to 0.01 inches / 0.25 mm per tip. Other calibrations are available on request.
Collector without Mounting ( Rainlog-Rainew )
The RainLog data logger is supplied with a polypropylene rain collector, RL-Loader software and serial cable. The tipping bucket rain gauge is calibrated to 0.01 inches / 0.25 mm per tip. This package does not include a mounting post. The National Weather Service suggests that the collector should be mounted 3 feet above the ground. It is also important that the mounting provides adequate drainage for the collector. The tipping bucket mechanism empties through two drains in its base.
