IQ Insight

IQ® Insight PC software is a graphical user interface (GUI) allowing all IQ set-up, configuration and data logger information to be reviewed, analysed and reconfigured.


The visually interactive standalone application makes analysing the data from an IQ simple and fast. Laptops with USB port IrDA(tm) interface running IQ® insight can be directly connected to an actuator located in the field to allow set up, adjustment and analysis.


IQ-Insight Software for PC - Version 5.3.4 is fully compatible with Windows XP SP2, Windows 7 and supports USB-IrDA adapter communication.


IQ-Insight has been developed to use unified configuration and united datalogger files making it compatible with Pocket IQ-Insight. Both IQ-Insight versions can now share actuator datalogger and configuration files allowing transfer of data to and from the actuator on site. Information on actuator specification, set up and operation can be shared between colleagues and sites and when required with Rotork representatives.


An IQ® Insight Kit is available from Rotork comprising an Actisys IR100UD IrDA-PC(tm) USB port adapter, Insight Software and an IQ window adapter. Contact Rotork for details.

An IrDA USB adapter must be used for communication and Rotork recommend the Actisys ACT-IR120UD or IR100UD as these have a virtual port driver built in. Please follow the instructions fully in order to setup and select the correct port number. This is the port that will be selected when logging in to IQ Insight using USB IrDA comms. All previous versions of Insight and Ircomm2K should be uninstalled before upgrading to this version of Insight, especially when using Windows 7or Windows 10.

The zip file contains instructions showing how to use an Actisys IrDA dongle with PC Insight in Windows 7 (without IrCOMM2k) and also with Windows 10.
