3.2.1 INSTALLING LOGCHART-II

The LogChart II is the software provided with the logger to allow for configuration and data

collection. To install the LogChart II, execute the LC_II_Setup.exe program provided in the CD. The

installation wizard will then guide you throughout the installation process.

Note: Be sure your Windows date separator is configured as a slash: dd/mm/yy or dd/mm/yyyy.

3.2.2 RUNNING LOGCHART-II

Start the program. The main window will appear on the screen, as shown in Figure below.

The LogChart II requires a communication port to talk to the logger. Select one and connect the

corresponding wand IR-LINK3 to it. Click on the menu Port. Clicking on the menu Port, all free

communication ports available in the computer will be listed (usually COM2, once the mouse is

frequently connected at COM1). The chosen port will be remembered next times the LogChart II is

initiated. When the selected port is successfully opened, the LogChart II initial screen is opened,

enabling the buttons below:

3.3 Optic Interface IR-Link3

Configuring, monitoring or downloading data from the logger through LogChart-II requires that

the IR-LINK3 communication interface be connected to your PC. This interface is sold separately. The

IR-LINK3 interface sends and receives data to/from the logger through infrared signals.
