NEULOG CURRENT LOGGER SENSOR GUIDE
NeuLog current logger sensor
NUL-202
The NeuLog current sensor can be used for any science experiment which
utilizes current readings. It is used in the fields of Physics, Electronics,
Chemistry, Biology, etc.
The sensor comes pre-calibrated so you can start experimentation right out
of the box using any of the following guides.
Hundreds of possible experimental subjects that can be performed with the
NUL-202 sensor are: Fuel cells, battery chemistry, electrical parallel
circuits, electrical series circuits and electronics.
The current sensor's measurement units are:
Amperes (A): Amperes are the SI base unit of electric current.
Quick start procedure:
PC or Mac Computer
Materials needed:
NUL-202 Current Sensor
USB-200 USB Module
USB to mini USB cable (which comes with the USB-200)
Your current 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 current sensor directly into the
computer.

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.
3.
Connect the current sensor to the USB-200 module (they directly plug
together). Please note no calibration is required for this sensor.
4.
Open the NeuLog software.
5.
Once a current sensor logo appears on the left side of the screen, the
probe has been automatically identified and you can begin
experimentation.
6.
If the current sensor is not automatically identified, click the “Search
for sensors” icon to find the sensor.
7.
Click the “On-line experiment” button; this will open a graph below.
8.
Click on the “Module setup” button located on the current sensor icon
in the module window to change the sensor's 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 current 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”.
