CHAPTER 1: QUICK START
1.1 The Quickest Start Possible
Your miniDOT Clear Logger has arrived completely ready to go. It is set to measure and record time,
battery voltage, temperature, oxygen concentration, and measurement quality once every 10
minutes and write one file of measurements daily. Open the miniDOT Clear Logger and move the
Logger Control Switch to the “Record” position. In this condition, the miniDOT Clear Logger will
record measurements for a year before the internal batteries are expended. You must re-close the
miniDOT Clear Logger prior to deploying it.
At the end of the deployment period, open the miniDOT Clear Logger and connect it to a HOST
computer via the USB connection.
The miniDOT Clear Logger will appear as a ‘thumb drive’. Your
temperature and oxygen concentration measurements, together with a time stamp indicating the
time the measurements were made, are recorded in text files in the folder having the serial number
of your miniDOT Clear Logger. These files can be copied onto any Windows or Mac HOST
computer.
This Manual and other software programs are also recorded on the miniDOT Clear Logger.

Your miniDOT Clear Logger will return to recording measurements after you disconnect the USB
connection. If you wish to stop recording, then move the Logger Control Switch to t
he “Halt” position.
You may move the Logger Control Switch at any time.
Follow these steps to start the deployment, logging DO & T once each 10 minutes:
1. Open the miniDOT Clear Logger by unscrewing the clear pressure housing from the black
end cap. It opens like a flashlight. Remove the clear pressure housing completely. Inside you
will see the circuit pictured below:
