Once the MicroLog™ software is open, select the following options by sliding the controls:

• Serial port selection - Check the available port on your Windows computer. The MicroLog™ will determine if the port is available. If the port is not available, the software will send a message that the "Setup failed."

• Rate of data collection - For this activity the rate is one every minute.

• External sensor - For this activity the external sensor is None.

Click on Setup on the computer to send the commands to the MicroLog™.

After the MicroLog™ wakes up, you should see a "Setup successful" message on the computer screen after a second.
