- User-controllable mission settings: Sampling rate, rollover (yes/no), mission start delay (optional), measurement accuracy (DS1922/DS1923 only), temperature/humidity software correction (DS1922/DS1923 only)
- Deployment time and location are automatically stored, the internal iButton clock is set on programming
- Users can take and attach pictures for easier locating logger devices in outdoor scenarios
- CSV export of measurements to Dropbox, GMail, Skype, etc.
- Mission parameters and measurement data are stored in a SQLite database, the SQLite database can be exported to various applications (e.g., Dropbox, GMail, ...)
- Over-the-air synchronisation in conjunction with a Global Sensor Networks (GSN) server


ATTENTION:
Using this app requires a USB OTG cable and a DS9490 USB 1-Wire iButton reader device.

If you do not own an Android phone yet, please take care that you will need a device that supports USB host mode. For example: Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy S3, ... the new Google Nexus 4 does unfortunately NOT support USB host mode.

It a very convenient app for missioning buttons- much faster than the OneWireViewer from manufacturer. Only suggestion for improvement is the ability to name the .csv files during saving. Our buttons are thrown into a mixing process and pulled out in random (but important-to-record) orders.

I am using this application for field research and it is highly recommended. It is more intuitive than the software that Dallas makes for iButtons and 3rd party pay for use programs. I have installed it on a Google Nexus 7 tablet and it has performed flawlessly. The ability to upload data from the field and program it with a portable tablet is a great asset to field biologists and ecologists who use i Buttons. The programmers are also extremely responsive and have helped reshape the program to meet my needs.
