NOTE: the application included on CD with the unit was current at the time of manufacture. Please check our eLogger
Support page on
to see if there is a newer version of the Windows application which may have addressed
issues you could encounter.
To install the application, just place the CD in the CD-ROM drive. If AutoPlay is enabled on your PC, the setup program should run
automatically. If it does not run, click on My Computer, click on the icon for your CD-ROM drive, and click on the “setup.exe”
application icon in the drive window.
Follow the Setup Wizard to install the eLogger application. Once installation is complete, the eLogger may be launched either from
its Desktop Icon, or by choosing the eLogger application from the
Start->Programs->Eagle Tree Systems
folder.
Setting up the eLogger with the Application
Once the application is installed, follow the above steps to launch it. The first time the application is launched, the New Model
Wizard will be invoked.
The Wizard will prompt you to install the eLogger using the supplied USB cable.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you connect the custom USB plug with the correct polarity, and into the correct
connector on the eLogger, as shown in Figure 1.
When you do this for the first time, the behavior will be different depending on which version of Windows you are using:
Windows 98™:
The eLogger and application are
not
compatible with Windows 98.
Windows 98SE™ and Windows Millennium™
: When the eLogger is first connected to the USB port, the New Hardware Wizard
will likely appear. Follow the steps in the Wizard, choosing the options to allow Windows to find the appropriate drivers for the
eLogger – these drivers are built into Windows. If the devices you already have on your computer haven’t required the installation of
the USB drivers, Windows will prompt you for your Windows CD to copy over the drivers. Once this process is complete, you may
be asked to reboot the system. Reboot at this point, then relaunch the eLogger Application, and the New Model Wizard should start
up again.
Windows 7™, Windows Vista™, Windows 2000 ™ and Windows XP ™
: When the eLogger is first connected to the USB port,
Windows should automatically install the correct drivers without prompting you. If you should receive a Windows prompt, however,
do what it says.
Once the eLogger is correctly discovered and installed by Windows, continue on with the New Model Wizard, relaunching the
Windows application after reboot if necessary.
Telling the eLogger what to Log
The first time you run the app, you will be prompted to choose what parameters you wish the eLogger to record. The more items
you log, the less record time will be available. A description of the parameters is below:
Electric Motor Voltage:
If this option is selected, Pack Voltage is logged.
Electric Motor Current
: If this option is selected, Pack Current is logged.
RPM Sensor A:
If this option is selected, the eLogger logs the RPM of your model, if you have installed the optional RPM sensor.
Temperature 1:
Choose this option if you want to record temperature from an optional temperature sensor.
Temperature 2:
Choose this option if you want to record temperature from a secondary optional temperature sensor.
Temperature 3:
Choose this option if you want to record temperature from a third optional temperature sensor.
Throttle Movement:
Choose this option if you want to record signals from the optional throttle servo Y cable.
Airspeed:
Choose this option if you want to record airspeed with the optional Airspeed MicroSensor.
Altitude:
Choose this option if you want to record altitude with the optional Altitude MicroSensor.
