NEULOG PRESSURE SENSOR GUIDE
NeuLog pressure logger sensor
NUL-210
The NeuLog pressure sensor can be used for any science experiment or
activity which requires an accurate pressure measurement such as in the
fields of Physics, Biology, Physiology, Microbiology, Botany, Weather
Science, etc.
The sensor comes pre-calibrated so you can start experimentation right out
of the box using this guide.
Both the pressure and barometer sensors measure pressure however the
pressure sensor is much easier to connect to lab ware such as syringes,
beakers, and test tubes whereas the barometer sensor is ideal for testing
atmospheric pressure in the open or in large containers. A hose with an
attachment piece come connected to the sensor to make connections to
various mediums easier.
Hundreds of possible experiments that can be done with the NUL-210
sensors are: Boyle’s Law, Gay-Lussac’s Law for ideal gases, weather
phenomena, yeast and microbe fermentation, small animal exercise
physiology, chemical reactions, and many more.
The pressure sensor is capable of measuring in four different units of
measure:
Kilopascal (kPa): The SI unit of pressure.
Atmospheres (atm): A pressure unit equal to one earth atmosphere
at sea level (101.325 kPa)
Pounds per square inch (psi): The unit of pressure which measures
the amount of force (in pounds) a gas or liquid exerts across one
square inch
Bar: A non-SI unit equal to exactly 100 kPa
Quick start procedure:
PC or Mac Computer
Materials needed:
NUL-210 Pressure Sensor
USB-200 USB Module
USB to mini USB cable (included with the USB-200 module)
Your pressure sensor needs to be connected to a USB-200 module. The
USB-200 module then connects to a computer via a USB to mini-USB
cable. Please note that you cannot plug the pressure sensor directly into the
computer.
Resident PC software and browser based application can be downloaded for

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 NeuLog software
2.
Connect the USB-200 module to the PC or Mac
