A scan is started by pressing a 
pushbutton, at a defined date, by a 
programming command or by a 
digital signal.  
It is finished either by another 
programming command, by turn-
ing off the device or when the 
storage capacity is reached (not in 

Loop Mode

).  

Afterwards, the measuring data are 
read out and sent to the PC for 
processing.  
 
Unlike the 

Continuous Mode

, you 

can also interrupt a scan in 

Alarm 

Mode 

by turning off the device and 

continuing afterwards. 
 
As a device of the meM-series, the 

meM-LOG-SE

 is provided with a 

USB connection, which means  
 

... high transmission rates  

of the measuring data ... 

 

from the data acquisition system to 
the PC. In addition, the logger 
features a serial connection 
(RS232) so that the device can be 

used together with all operating 
systems supporting the serial inter-
face (even Linux!). That means 
that also  
 

... transmission by modem ... 

 
is possible. 
 
 
If not only voltages are measured 
but other physical quantities with 
sensors, the carrier board 

BP16

 

from BMC Messsysteme GmbH 
supplied with the 

MAL

 miniature 

measuring amplifiers is ideal for 
the combination with the data 
logger.  
This is realized via a 1:1 connec-
tion of the 37-pole Sub-D sockets 
at the front of the two devices.  
Besides that, the 

BP16

 can be 

operated with the external power 
supply provided at the Sub-D 
socket of the logger. 
 
The control of the 

meM-LOG-SE

 

takes place by programming via 
the serial interface or by means of 

the operating software ST-meM-
LOG SE included with delivery.  
Since ST-meM-LOG SE supports 
the same file format as the modern 
software

for data acquisition and 
processing, measuring files created 
with ST-meM-LOG SE can be dis-
played in NextView

signal curves and then be ana-
lyzed.  
NextView

stripped-down "Analysis" version. 
A free demo of the software is 
included with delivery.  
 
The instruction set for program-
ming the

patible to the ADAM4000 series.

1  Starting up the device and using the accumulator 

Plug the two red frames onto the short sides of the device with the feet looking downwards as illustrated in the product 
picture.  

The power supply for the device (12V, 12W) is optionally available (

ZU-PW10W

) as accessory. In addition, an accu-

mulator is integrated so that (depending on the load) the 

meM-LOG-SE

 can be operated between 30 hours and 7 

weeks without external power supply. As soon as the external power supply is connected (green LED on), the accumu-
lator is recharged. Charging is done within 3-4 hours approximately even during a scan. Before first use, charge the 
accumulator for about 1 hour. To prevent any loss of data, do not deeply discharge the accumulator. In this case, it has 
to be loaded with the device turned off. To keep the functioning of the accumulator, it should not stay unused for more 
than one year.  

For controlling 

meM-LOG-SE

 and transmitting measuring data, connect the device to the PC with a serial interface 

cable (9-pole null modem cable) or USB cable (included with delivery) depending on the interface you want to use. 

The logger is suitable for DIN rail mounting. The DIN rail set 

ZU-SCHI

 can be ordered optionally. 

If using several measuring systems of the meM series or the amplifier system 

BP16

, the red frames of the device can be 

fit together, so that the devices form a stable unit (see chapter 5).
