Connect the SDS Data Logger to the local computer via USB. If you are connecting the data
logger to the computer via USB for the first time, you may see a message on the screen saying
that Windows is installing drivers, especially on Windows Vista and 7. Windows may also ask you
if you want to set up the device. If this happens, allow Windows to install the drivers, but close
the device setup window from ActiveSync or Mobile Device Center.
NOTE: If there is any question as to whether
the computer is detecting the data logger and
connecting to it properly, check the “My
Computer” window in Windows XP or the
“Computer” window in Windows Vista and 7.
The data logger should appear in this window
with a mobile or portable device icon, as
shown at right. Other devices, such as
smartphones, may also appear as part of the
same list.

Once the SDS Data Logger is connected to the computer via USB, start SDS Reporter.
Downloading Data with SDS Reporter
The “Color Screen Scanning” option must be checked
in order for SDS Reporter to scan for the Color SDS

using ActiveSync (Windows XP) or Mobile Device
Center (Windows Vista/7).
Color Screen Scanning Option
Open the Download Surveys and Data option in SDS Reporter. The software will begin to search
for any data loggers located on the network.
