Technical Hint


Collecting realtime data

After setup programming is complete, leave the MicroLog™ connected to the computer. Check the Online Graph Checkbox and start recording.

If an external sensor is needed, exit the software and unplug the MicroLog™ from your computer. Pop the MicroLog™ into the cradle and plug the external sensor into the external sensor input port before collecting data.

Locate Connector cable from your JASON Academy Lab Pack with a stereo jack on one end.

Also obtain the power adaptor from your JASON Academy Lab Pack. Plug both into the appropriate sockets on the left side of the cradle. Make sure to connect the Connector cable to the appropriate port on your computer and that the power adaptor is plugged in.

Reopen the MicroLog™ software and check the Online Graph Checkbox and start recording. You can stand your cradle up for better viewing by flipping open the stand at the back of the cradle.
