sensor is not automatically identified then click the “Search for
sensors” icon to find the sensor.
8.
Select the “On-line experiment” button; this will open a graph below.
9.
Click on the “Module setup” button located on the CO
2
sensor icon in the
module window to change the sensor settings if need be.

Tablet, smart phone device
Materials needed:
Prior to initial use the NeuLog CO
2
sensor needs to be calibrated, please review the
“Sensor calibration” section of this document on beginning on page 2 for detailed
instructions. Your CO
2
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.
Calibrate the CO
2
sensor. (Follow the „Sensor Calibration” guide in this
document)
2.
Connect the CO
2
sensor directly to the left side of a WIFI-201 module (no
wires required).
3.
Connect a BAT-200 module to the right side of the WIFI-201 module.
4.
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.
5.
For further WIFI-201 instructions or the WIFI-201 quick start guide please
visit
6.
The WIFI-201 indicator lights will flash; take no action until the LED to the
far left turns blue.
7.
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)
8.
Give your device 1-2 minutes to connect to the WIFI-201 network.
9.
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.
10.
You will see a “Control mode” icon in the browser, click on this icon.
11. The browser will then load a new screen and begin to auto detect the
sensors, this can take a few minutes.
12.
If the browser does not auto detect, select “Search for sensors”
13. Once the sensor is found you will see an icon on the left side of the screen
for the CO
2
sensor. The icon will display data in real time.
14. To set the CO
2
sensor‟s settings click on “Module setup” button located on
the CO
2
sensor icon on the left side of your screen.
15.
To change the experimental settings click the “Experiment setup” button
(experiment duration for example).
16. To run an experiment and collect d
ata click “Run experiment”.
