Chapter 1 MultiLogPRO 7
1.2.2. Input Modes
MultiLogPRO has two Input Modes. The default mode is Auto ID and the
MultiLogPRO is in this mode when turned on for the first time. When using more than
4 sensors, when using VERNIER sensors, or if you
’ ve defined your own sensor,
switch to the 8 inputs mode. Select the system configuration menu in the MAIN
MENU and choose the mode you want (see page 18).
MultiLogPRO saves the current mode selection and will open in that mode the next
time you turn it on.
1. Auto ID
Automatic sensor identification – just plug in the sensors and the MultiLogPRO
prepares itself to collect data from these sensors.
While in this mode you can work with up to 4 sensors simultaneously.
2. 8 Inputs
This mode enables data logging from up to 8 sensors simultaneously. Connect up to
four input splitters (DT011) to multiply the MultiLogPRO
’ s inputs starting with I/O-4
(the splitters must be connected in order):
•
I/O-4 splits into I/O-4 and I/O-5
•
I/O-3 splits into I/O-3 and I/O-6
•
I/O-2 splits into I/O-2 and I/O-7
•
I/O-1 splits into I/O-1 and I/O-8
In the splitter cable, one of the two wires is marked with arrows - that is the main
input (the lower I/O number). The second wire is marked with the letter S (split) -
indicating that it is the secondary input (the higher I/O number).
To learn how to switch to 8 inputs mode please refer to section 1.2.9 on page 18.
In this mode there is no automatic sensor identification. Select the sensors manually
either from the MultiLogPRO setup menu (see section 1.2.6 on page 13) or using the
MultiLab software (see section 2.5.1 on page 54).
Use this mode if you want to work with more than 4 sensors or if you are using
VERNIER sensors.
1.2.3. Quick-Start
Before you first use MultiLogPRO, charge the unit for 10 to 12 hours while it is turned
off.
1. Turn on MultiLogPRO
Press the on button . You will see the initialization screen. MultiLogPRO
performs a brief self-check and displays its status including battery level. At this point
you can load the last setup you used (see page 18). If you need a new setup wait
until you see the Main Menu screen:
