NEULOG INFRARED TEMPERATURE SENSOR GUIDE
Procedure:
1.
Install the NeuLog software
2.
Connect the USB-200 module to the PC or Mac
3.
Connect the infrared temperature 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 the infrared temperature sensor logo appears on the left side of the
screen the probe has been automatically identified and you can begin
experimentation.
6.
If the infrared temperature 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 infrared temperature
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 infrared temperature 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:
Your infrared temperature 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 infrared temperature 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 infrared temperature sensor. The icon will display data in real time.
13.
To set the infrared temperature sensor’s settings click on “Module setup”
button located on the infrared temperature sensor icon on the left side of
your screen.
14.
To change the experimental settings click the “Experiment setup” button
(experiment duration for example).
15.
To run an experiment and collect data click “Run experiment”.
