SW-DBV: DALLAS IBUTTON / 1-WIRE VIEWER 

SW-DBV: Dallas iButton / 1-Wire Viewer

Product Code: SW-DBV Price: Check Latest Included on our Dallas iButton Software CD are both iButton Viewer and 1-Wire Viewer.  Both software packages are designed for exploring iButton or 1-Wire chip features from your PC. Each offers basic functionality; enabling you to configure iButtons, view data, and export readings for in-depth analysis by other database applications. iButton Viewer (Windows-only Application) iButton Viewer is a Windows-only application that is easy to install and use.  It works with many iButtons including the DS1921 Thermochron iButtons.  It not only enables you to view output on your screen, but it lets you print it as well.  Unfortunately, iButton Viewer does not support all iButtons and it is no longer updated with new iButton releases. 1-Wire Viewer (Java Based) 1-Wire Viewer is a Java-based software package. In contrast to iButton Viewer, the 1-Wire Viewer is not compiled for a specific platform.  While we don't think it is as user-friendly as the Windows-only version, it is continuously updated with support for the latest 1-Wire and iButton products.  Selecting between 1-Wire Viewer (Java Based) and iButton Viewer (Windows-only App.) If  iButton Viewer supports the iButton products you wish to use, and you are working in a Windows environment, we recommend it. This version does support the DS1921G. Below is a list of some of the benefits and drawbacks of the two different Viewer software packages: iButton Viewer (Windows-only Application) Benefits Easier to navigate and use. Output can be seen on the screen, output to a file, or printed. Loads faster and responds faster than Java Based 1-Wire Viewer. Does not require JAVA Runtime Supports DS1921 iButtons, as well as many others. Drawbacks Compiled application for Windows machines only. Does not support the newest iButton models (including, but not limited to DS1922 & DS1923). 1-Wire Viewer (Java Based) Benefits Supports both Linux and Windows platforms. (However, our CD only installs for Windows) Supports all Dallas iButtons (and is updated with new product releases). Drawbacks Output is only to the monitor or to a file, no ability to print. A little slower to use and navigate than iButton Viewer. Requires separate installation of Java Runtime (available from http://java.com, and included on the CD) Our Dallas iButton Software CD is included free in the iButton Starter Kit (SK-TC1).  If you would like a free copy of iButton Viewer/1-Wire Viewer, please contact us and we can e-mail you a download link.  If you would prefer to receive a copy of the CD, you can order one below.
