5. USER PROGRAM FOR DATA LOGGER
The following text describes especially possibilities of data logger setting and some procedures of work
with data. More detailed information on program is in Program Help.
5.1. Program features
Software for data logger enables to configure data logger and process measured data. It can be
downloaded freely from www.cometsystem.com . After installation program can run in two modes as:

basic (unregistered) version
–
enables configuration of data loggers and table processing of
data. It does not enable graphic processing of data, automatic data download, storing of data
outside of local computer, www display etc.

optional (registered) version
–
after entering of purchased registration key optional
functions of the SW are enabled. Entering of key is enabled in installation of the SW or
anytime later.
Hardware and software requirements:

the Windows 7 and later or the Windows Server 2008 R2 and later operating system

1.4 GHz processor

RAM 1 GB
5.2. Installation of program
Run downloaded installation utility for MS data loggers. Installation wizard appears to perform all
installation. Run installed program from menu Start-Program files-CometLoggers-MSPlus (if you did not
change its location during installation).
For other USB devices, e.g. ELO214, installation of proper drivers to these devices is necessary.
5.3. Setting of communication with data logger
User SW enables to work simultaneously with several data loggers connected in different ways to
the computer. Settings is performed in two steps:

Selection of communication interface of the computer

Data logger assigning to selected communication interface
You can find description of individual settings in the Appendix no. 3.
If SW installation was just completed and the window Setting of communication is empty, then with data
logger connected via RS232 and USB steps described below must not be performed. Connect data logger to
the computer (wait with USB for awhile to let the system detect connected device and activate virtual COM
port driver). Then run user SW and try to read data logger configuration (icon i). Computer searches all
available COM ports and speeds and tries to find data logger. If this procedure fails or different interface is
required or there are more than one data logger, follow below instructions. Optionally see detailed
description in Appendix No. 3.
Configuration in data logger must correspond with setting in computer. E.g. If data logger is
set to RS232 interface and in SW Ethernet is used, data logger is not able to communicate.
If SW services several data loggers at the same time, you will be asked to choose data logger from the list
before each communication with data logger. In the mode Display all data loggers are displayed in parallel
(with the exception of those connected via modem).
