Magpie Downloads

A versatile Windows Software package that makes the collection of data simple, and the display and analysis of your Environmental Data better and easier!

Download a Demonstration

A demonstration version of Magpie 2 can be obtained here. The demonstration copy has a single scheme with some data that can be displayed using Magpie's tabling, graphing and wind rose capabilities.

Note: the demonstration version has limited function in a range of areas including scheme creation, data exporting, etc.

Download the Magpie 2 Software Update

All Magpie 2 updates can be safely applied to a properly installed Magpie 2 installation. The update contains all files needed to make a Magpie installation current. Therefore previous copies of the update do not need to be kept to make a Magpie 2 installation current.

No data will be lost by installing this update.

If the update is required in order to fix a problem with a program running in the data logger, please follow the instructions below (Correcting Scheme Problems) after installing the update.

The update includes:

  • Magpie 2.0.2.2
  • Unidata Module 1.0.1.8

Note: The download file is called 'Magpie2Update.exe'. Download it to your computer and simply execute it to update Magpie.

Note: this is not an update to Magpie 1 and installing the update on a computer that only has Magpie 1 will have no effect.


Download the Magpie 2 Manual

The user manual explains how to set up and use Magpie 2. It is in PDF format, so you may need to use a program such as Adobe Reader to view it.




Correcting Scheme Problems

Note that when the update is being downloaded in order to correct a scheme building problem then it will be necessary to do the following...

  • Install the update first
  • Run Magpie
  • Open the scheme that requires correction
  • Press F2 to force a rebuild of the scheme
  • Close the scheme editor
  • Unload any wanted data from the data logger
  • Load the modified scheme into the logger
  • Observe that the problem has been corrected by using real time information or by viewing unloaded data
  • Repeat this process for all schemes affected
