There are 2 versions of AlphaApp as we release our latest product (the AIC3Pro)! The latest version has been tested on the AIC3Pro and is ready for use. Until we validate all our other meters in the new version we recommend sticking with v1.0.9. Once we’ve completed our testing we’ll return to our easy one button download and all meters will use the latest version. If you have any issues or require assistance please email support@trifield.com

Download version 1.0.10 for all meters EXCEPT the Air Ion Counter Model AIC3Pro.

Download version 1.2.2b FOR the Air Ion Counter Model AIC3Pro.

Software Description:

AlphaApp is an easy to use software application that provides data logging and data capture capabilities for AlphaLab Inc. meters that have USB capabilities. The easy to use interface gives users the ability to record, download, and stream data from meters to most computers. The data can be viewed on a computer or saved to a text file format easily read by any software with text reading capabilities (i.e., Excel, Matlab, C++, C, etc.).

Supported Operating Systems:

• Windows 11
• Windows 10

Features (for meters with data recording option):

• Tethered Recording – AlphaApp can stream data at varied intervals while connected to a PC.
• Stand Alone Recording – Data can be uploaded later using AlphaApp. Over 100,000 data points can be stored or re-written repeatedly to non-volatile memory on a meter.
• Data Plotting – Multiple-axis data can be visualized using line plots.
• Live Screen – AlphaApp can extend the screen information on the meter to a PC.
