General Overview Thank you for purchasing the data logging pH 110 meter from Spectrum Technologies, Inc. This user’s guide deals with the features that are unique to the data logging pH 100 meter. Infor- mation on general meter operation is contained in the accompanying Instruction manual.
Data Logger Operation The data logger has two modes of operation: Com- munication and Measurement. These modes are indicated by the green LED in the lower left corner of the meter. When this light is flashing, the meter is in Communication mode.

Calibration The procedure for calibrating the meter is given in the accompanying meter instruction manual. Taking and Data Logging Measurements When the probe is inserted in soil or water, the me- ter’s LCD will immediately begin indicating the pH. When this value stabilizes, the meter locks on to that value and the LCD will display READY in the upper right corner.

4. If the “Connection OK” message box (see fig. 1) is displayed, another device (such as a modem) is probably connected to that port. This is not the port you will be using with your meter. If the “No Connection” message box (see fig. 2) is displayed, this port may be the one connected to your serial cable and you can proceed to the next step.

Be sure to select the pH 100 Meter from the Select Meter Type screen Connecting to your Computer To communicate with the data log- ger, connect the gray interface cable to the pH 100 meter’s RS-232 port.

If the box below the logger name field is checked, the logger will store GPS data only if it has been dif- ferentially corrected. If the differential correction is not found, only the pH reading will be stored in the data file.
GPS Connection The data logger searches for a GPS signal when the meter is powered up. If a signal is found, latitude and longitude values will be added to the data file. If a GPS signal is not found when powering up, the meter will not search for it when taking readings.
