Start your new installation of DeLogger for
the first time.
To do this…
a) On the
Start
menu>
Programs
>
DeLogger
menu,
click DeLogger — see Figure 11.
DeLogger starts and presents you with its Serial
Number Entry dialog box (Figure 12).
b) In the Serial Number Entry dialog box, leave the
field empty and click
OK
.
The Welcome dialog box opens.
For more information about serial numbers and
upgrading see the “Enabling DeLogger Pro” Extras
panel.
c) In the Welcome dialog box, click
Start New Project
(Figure 13).
d) In the New Project dialog box that opens, type
Project99
(or whatever you like) and click
OK
(Figure 13).
Project99’s windows open within DeLogger’s main
window. Your screen should look like Figure 18
(page 25).
e) Notice that two windows are open in DeLogger’s
workspace (labelled
Prog1.dlp
and
Prog1.dl8
in
their title bars) and five windows are minimized at
the bottom of the workspace (
Mimic1.dlm
,
Form1.dlf
,
Text1.dlt
,
Chart1.dlc
and
Spread1.dls
).
Prog1.dlp
is the program builder for DT500/600
series dataTakers, and Prog1.dl8 is for your DT800.
f) Click
Prog1.dlp
’s minimize button ( in its title
bar).
You’re not using the DT500/600 program builder
in this tutorial.
Enabling DeLogger Pro
If you purchase DeLogger Pro, or purchase an
upgrade from DeLogger to DeLogger Pro, you’ll
receive a serial number that you use as follows:
• If you’ve purchased DeLogger Pro Install and
start DeLogger exactly as described in topics 3-1
and 3-2 beginning on page 16 but, when the
Serial Number Entry dialog box opens
(Figure 12), enter your DeLogger Pro serial
number.
•
If you’ve purchased an upgrade from DeLogger to
DeLogger Pro
With DeLogger running, choose
Register Product…
from DeLogger’s File menu. In
the dialog box that opens (Figure 12), replace
0000-0000 in the field with your Pro serial
number and click
OK
. (0000-0000 is the default
serial number that enables basic DeLogger.) The
next dialog box offers you the choice of quitting
then restarting the program with the new
functionality either now or later.
Leave the field empty (unless you’re upgrading
to DeLogger Pro and have purchased a Pro
serial number) and click OK .
