2.
When ready to collect data press the “Start/Stop” button on the wide range
temperature 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-233 wide range temperature sensor)
Restoring sensor’s factory default settings:
Procedure:
1.
Connect the USB-200 to a PC, Mac, tablet, or smart device.
2.
Connect the wide range temperature 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
in each plastic NeuLog body. This technology allows the sensor to collect and then
store the digital data in the correct scientific units (
o
C,
o
F, Lux, %, ppm, for example).
The sensor is pre-calibrated at the factory. The built-in software in the logger can be
upgraded for free at any time using the provided firmware update.
The wide range temperature uses a thermocoupler to accurately measure
temperatures from very cold (-200°C) to very hot (1200°C). Two wires of different
compositions and thermal conductance properties are connected at the ends.
