NEULOG COLORIMETER LOGGER SENSOR GUIDE
Quick start procedure:
PC or Mac Computer
Materials needed:
NUL-219 Colorimeter Sensor
Cu Cuvette Lids
USB-200 USB Module
A USB to mini USB cable (which comes with the USB-200)
Your colorimeter 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 colorimeter sensor directly into the computer.
Resident PC software and browser based software can be downloaded for free at
www.NeuLog.com/dowload 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 colorimeter 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 colorimeter sensor logo appears on the left side of the screen the
probe has been automatically identified and you can begin experimentation.
6.
If the colorimeter 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 colorimeter 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 colorimeter 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-219 Colorimeter Sensor
Cu Cuvette Lids
WIFI-201 WIFI module
BAT-200 Battery
Your colorimeter 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.
Procedure:
1.
Connect the colorimeter sensor directly to the left side of a WIFI-201 module
(no wires required).
2.
Connect a BAT-200 module to the right side of the WIFI-201 module.
3.
Although not required, we recommend plugging the BAT-200 to an outlet
using a USB to micro USB charger (such as a typical cell phone charger).
The WIFI-201 module will run for 15-75 minutes (depending on the sensor)
without being plugged in.
4.

5.
The WIFI-201 indicator lights will flash; take no action until the LED to the
far left turns blue.
6.
Take your tablet or smart phone and go to the Wi-Fi settings and select the
NeuLog network which matches the WIFI module ID found on the back of
the WIFI-201 device. (NeuLogXXXX for example)
7.
Give your device 1-2 minutes to connect to the WIFI-201 network.
8.
Once the device is connected go to your browser and type in the website
wifi201.com into the URL bar, then wait for 30-60 seconds.
9.
You will see a “Control mode” icon in the browser, click on this icon.
10. The browser will then load a new screen and begin to auto detect the
sensors, this can take a few minutes.
11.
If the browser does not auto detect, select “Search for sensors”
12. Once the sensor is found you will see an icon on the left side of the screen
for the colorimeter sensor. The icon will display data in real time.
