Notes
- In order to communicate with the instrument, Global Water's Global Logger software needs to be installed --compatible with Windows only. Install the software before manually installing the drivers.
- During the software installation process, at the tail end, there is a modal window that remains hidden beind the parent installer window; make sure to drag the parent window to make the modal window visable.
- Two drivers must be installed for the instrument to properly communicate with Global Loger:
- USB to serial driver
- device driver for the instrument
- default's to COM 4 with BAUD rate of 38400;
- It's possible to change the BAUD rate from "Auto" to another setting on the instrument itself, but do not do this. If there's a communication problem between the software and instrument it's possible that the BAUD rate was changed within the instrument, which means each of the BAUD rates will have to be iterated through from the PC's COM settings.
- The instrument has a USB interface:
- When the instrument is not in use or going to be stored, it should be set to not log by configuring it to log once every 180 days (or longer duration), in order to preserve the internal battery life.
