PC CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE
The LOGBOX SE Setup software is designed for easy set up of the LOGBOX SE. It is intuitive in use and a full configuration
can be made in just a few minutes. The LOGBOX SE Setup software is a simple executable file, without the need for
further installation. It is compatible with Windows™ 7, 8 and 10 operating systems 32 and 64 bit.
First of all it is necessary to download the files to your computer. Please visit the
www.kippzonen.com
website,
navigate to Data Loggers and the LOGBOX SE, click on Downloads and select LOGBOX SE - Software. Download the ZIP
file and unzip the files to the directory on your local computer where you want to store LOGBOX SE Setup files. There
is no need for further program installation. For maximum comfort it is advisable to create a shortcut on your desktop.
When the LOGBOX SE is attached via USB the driver will need installation. It is advised to stop the Windows installation
of the driver and perform the installation manually.
Right click on the file "msp430_ti_signed" and select Install.
In only a few seconds the driver should be installed.
Now when the LOGBOX SE is attached via the USB cable a COM port will be created. For the software to operate you
will need to know the COM port.
Open Device Manager by clicking on the Windows logo and typing Device Manager and Enter. Or Open the "Run" dialog
box by pressing and holding the Windows key, then press the R key ("Run"). Type devmgmt.msc and Enter
Note the new COM port with TI MSP430 in its name. Any extra LOGBOX SE attached later can get a new and higher COM
port. TI MSP430 is only shown when the driver was manually installed. Otherwise a generic driver will be used.
The files starting with BSL are for future use when a new firmware may be made available.
When the USB is connected also a new removable disk will appear. This allows for easy file management like copy and
removal. The SD contents visible in the Windows Explorer will be updated when files are removed but will not be
updated when the logger produces new log files. Then the USB cable must be unplugged and plugged in again.
