NEULOG RELATIVE HUMIDITY SENSOR GUIDE
NeuLog Relative Humidity logger sensor
NUL-207
The NeuLog relative humidity sensor can be used for any science experiment or
activity which requires an accurate relative humidity reading such as in the fields of
Biology, Physiology, Exercise Science, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Earth
Science, Weather Science, Botany, Entomology, etc.
The sensor comes pre-calibrated so you can start experimentation right out of the box
using any of the following guides.
Just a few of the thousands of possible experiments that can be done with the NUL-
207 sensors are: perspiration, photosynthesis rates, insect behavior, water vapor
emitting chemical reactions, ecological studies, animal behavior, weather patterns,
and many more.
Relative humidity is a measurement which examines the ratio of water vapor present
in the air compared with the maximum amount of water vapor that the air can hold for
a specific temperature.
Data is presented as a percentage which is a ratio of the amount of water
vapor in the air versus the maximum amount that could be allowed at a
given temperature.
Quick start procedure:
PC or Mac Computer
Materials needed:
NUL-207 Relative Humidity Sensor
USB-200 USB Module
A USB to mini USB cable (which comes with the USB-200)
Your relative humidity 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 relative humidity sensor directly into the computer.
Resident PC software and browser based software can be downloaded for free at
as well as a full 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 relative humidity sensor to the USB-200 module (they directly
plug together). Please note there is no calibration required for this sensor.
4.
Open the NeuLog software.
5.
Once a relative humidity sensor logo appears on the left side of the screen
the probe has been automatically identified and you can begin
experimentation.
6.
If the relative humidity sensor is not automatically identified then click the
“Search for sensors” icon to find the sensor.
7.
Select the “On-line experiment” button; this will open a graph below.
8.
Click on the “Module setup” button located on the relative humidity sensor
icon in the module window to change the sensor 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 relative humidity 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”.
Tablet, smart phone device
Materials needed:
NUL-207 Relative Humidity Sensor
WIFI-201 WIFI module
BAT-200 Battery
Your relative humidity sensor needs to be connected to a WIFI-201 module. The WIFI-
201 module will create a closed NeuLog wifi network which will stream the NeuLog
data to a device of your choosing. Once your device is wirelessly connected to the
NeuLog network you can run experiments and collect data through a browser of your
choosing.
