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.
