NEULOG HAND DYNAMOMETER SENSOR GUIDE
Materials needed to configure your offline experiment:
A USB to mini USB cable (which comes with the USB-200)
Procedure:
1.
Connect the hand dynamometer sensor directly to the left side of a charged
BAT-200 module.
2.
When ready to collect data press the “Start/Stop” button on the hand
dynamometer sensor, a red light will turn on for the duration of the
experiment.
3.
To change the experiment settings first connect to your chosen device (PC,
Mac, tablet, smart device) and select the “Module setup” button. (For more
information on how to change the experiment settings view quick start
procedure section for your chosen device in this document.)
4.
After the experiment has concluded (when the “Start/Stop” button is pressed
again or the data collection period ends) connect the sensor to your chosen
device. (full
instructions in each device’s quick start procedure section)
5.
Open NeuLog software.
6.
Click the “Off-line experiment” button.
7.
Click the “Load data from sensors” button.
8.
Select which experimental data to upload. (5 experimental runs can be
stored at one time on the NUL-237 hand dynamometer sensor)
Restoring sensor’s factory default settings:
Procedure:
1.
Connect the USB-200 to a PC, Mac, tablet, or smart device.
2.
Connect the hand dynamometer sensor to a USB-200 module (they directly
plug together). Please note there is no calibration required for this sensor.
3.
Open the NeuLog software.
4.
Click the “Tools” icon.
5.
Click “Restore sensor’s factory defaults” icon.
6.
If prompted to clear the graph, click either the “Off-line experiment” or “On-
line experiment” (whichever you are using).
7.
Click “Clear experiment results”.
8.
Resume from step 4.

Technical background:
The philosophy behind NeuLog’s plug and play technology is based on each sensor’s
ability to store its own data due to an internal flash memory chip and micro-controller
