Software support		Our SensePlay software is a very easy way to quickly map sensor data to (sequences of) sounds, images and videos using a drag & drop user interface. Our EditorX software allows you to configure the digitizer to process and map the sensor data of multiple sensors simultaneously. Our Link software allows you to receive the sensor data from the digitizer and use your computer to view, calibrate, record, process and map the sensor data of multiple sensors simultaneously. Our SensorX software allows you to receive the sensor data from the digitizer and use your computer to view, calibrate, record, process and map the data of a single sensor. 08 Dec 2010: Hot v1.1 for MacOS and Windows from source code in Max.
Application notes		The upper temperature limit for this sensor is equal to the boiling point of water. Please note that this is an electrical device. Do not immerse in water. Temperature values are for the sensor itself (ie. the item sticking out from board), not for the cables, jack, circuit board, etc.
