Operation with Edu-Logger viewer 

Materials needed: 

 

900-238 Salinity Sensor 

 

900-272 Viewing Module 

 

900-215 Battery 

 

Procedure: 

1.

 

Connect the salinity sensor to the left side of the 
viewer. 

2.

 

Connect  the  900-215  module  to  the  right  side  of 
the viewer. 

3.

 

The 900-272 will auto detect  the sensor and  you 
will see it appear on the left side of the screen. 

4.

 

Once  the  sensor  appears  it  will  be  monitoring 
data in real time. 

5.

 

To  run  an  experiment  and  collect  data  click  the 
run button (little green person). 

 

Off-line experiments 

 
(Off-line experiments are for when you do not have a 
sensor  connected  directly  to  a  computer,  tablet, 
smartphone, or Edu-Logger viewer). 
 

Materials needed:
