Interesting, very interesting.

Plus CFM input from a hot wire anemometer, and associated delivered capacity calculations.

HG collects readings from the various heads/instruments, either via directly connected heads, or wireless instruments.
It then transmits them to the app on the phone or tablet, and the app handles the various calculations. reporting, and record keeping.
It would make it easy to update and add software related features and calculations, as it can all be done via the app.

It would work with everything the current HG works with, and could actually be simplified because it would become just a device for collecting data and passing it along to the app.

I'd buy it as soon as it comes out, along with a number of other related heads/instruments to work with it.
I'm thinking I'm not the only one who has taken a pass on the HG, in its current form, that would be all over the HG system if it worked that way.

We're a pretty well rounded bunch around here so there's both marketing and engineering in the mix with the beta testers. But you gotta do your homework if you want to become a preferred beta tester. Nothing is entirely free.

well... yeah! that's what am saying man.

and am waiting for the HG to catch up. Don't get me wrong, am impressed with what it does now. But it is lacking some things IMHO that i find easier to just do it all myself

Beta testing I like, because unlike field testing "ready for market" products, people tend not to get their shorts in a bunch so much when I point out problems.

Considering I'm still new to the industry, I'm glad I'm not the only one out there with this gripe.

I as well prefer stand alone meter for each of these tasks.

And wirelessly putting all the info in one place, takes the cake IMHO would be the best setup to have!
