LogXR Mac
Free Mac OS X software for Pace XR5 Data Loggers from Pace Scientific
Third party Mac software for XR5 Data Loggers
The following 3rd party terminal emulation program works with the XR5's Text Interface (see User's Guides below).
ZTerm
A shareware terminal emulation / communications program for the Macintosh. Use ZTerm to set up an XR5 logging session, transfer logged data, and display sensor data in real time.
Please note: Once an XR5 has been set up using LogXR Software, sensor data can be displayed in real time on a Mac using a terminal emulation program like ZTerm. After selecting the XR5's real time mode, sensor readings in the form of readable character strings are transmitted every 2 seconds from the XR5. In contrast, stored data files transferred to a Mac using ZTerm are binary files. These files can be converted to a readable format using LogXR Software's menu selection Utilities | Convert Binary File.
Go to http://homepage.mac.com/dalverson/zterm/ to download ZTerm. Versions of ZTerm are available for Mac OS 9 and earlier, Max OS 8/9 Power PC, and Mac OS X
