Resident  PC  software  and  browser  based  application 
can  be  downloaded  for  free  at 

www.edulab.com

  as 

well as a full software user guide.

  

Note:

  Make  sure  not  to  download  and  install  both 

types of software they will conflict on the computer. 
 

Procedure: 

 
1.

 

Install the Edu-Logger software 

2.

 

Connect the 900-213 module to the PC or Mac 

3.

 

Connect  the  salinity  sensor  to  the  900-213 
module (they directly plug together).  Please note 
there is no calibration required for this sensor. 

4.

 

Open the Edu-Logger software. 

5.

 

Once  a  salinity  sensor  logo  appears  on  the  left 
side  of  the  screen  the  probe  has  been 
automatically  identified  and  you  can  begin 
experimentation. 

6.

 

If  the  salinity  sensor  is  not  automatically 
identified, click on the “Search for sensors” icon 
to find the sensor. 

7.

 

Select the “On-line experiment” button; this will 
open a graph below. 

8.

 

Click  on  the  “Module  setup”  button  located  on 
the salinity sensor icon in the module window to 
change the sensor settings if need be. 

9.

 

Click on the "experiment set up" button to change 
the  experiment  settings  if  need  be  (experiment 
duration for example). 

10.

 

The salinity sensor will give a live reading in the 
box to the left of the screen while plugged in. 

11.

 

To run an experiment and collect data click “Run 
experiment”. 

12.

 

To  end  data  collection  early,  click  “Stop 
experiment”.
