RUNNING THE DATALOGGER SOFTWARE
With the VBDL100
inserted in the PC’s USB port, double
‐
click the program icon (located
on the desktop) to launch the program. The main software screen will appear.
Instructions for using the Datalogger Software are contained in the HELP Utility available
from the HELP menu in the software program. Please read the HELP Utility thoroughly in
order to fully understand the software and the related functionality of the VBDL100.

higher rate than normal. To conserve battery life, do not leave the VBDL100
connected to the USB port for a prolonged period of time.
Basic Datalogger Operation
This section covers only the sta

functions. All other information is provided in the HELP utility within the software
program.
