NeuLog NUL-232 Manual

NeuLog UVA logger sensor
NUL-232
The NeuLog UVA sensor can be used for any science experiment or activities which
utilize accurate UVA readings such as in the fields of: Environmental Science, Biology,
Physiology, Chemistry, Weather Science, etc.
The sensor comes pre-calibrated so you can start experimentation right out of the box
using any of the following guides.
UVA (Ultraviolet A) rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation which have a
wavelength shorter than visible light in the range between 400 and 315 nanometers.
About 95% of UV rays that reach earth's surface are UVA and they are attributed with
skin aging and damage.
Just a few of the thousands of possible experimental subjects that can be done with
the NUL-232 sensors are: UVA levels in different weather conditions, UVA levels
against altitude, weather patterns, plant growth studies, small animal behavior
experiments, electromagnetic radiation spectrum studies, light emitting chemical
reactions, and many more.
The UVA sensor uses the following units of measure:

Milli Watt per square meter (mW/m
The amount of watts per square meter.
Quick start procedure:
PC or Mac Computer
Materials needed:

NUL-232 UVA Sensor

USB-200 USB Module

A USB to mini USB cable (which comes with the USB-200)
Your UVA sensor needs to be connected to a USB-200 module.
module then connects to a computer via a USB to mini-USB cable. Please note that
you cannot plug the UVA sensor directly into the computer.

NEULOG UVA LOGGER SENSOR GUIDE
Resident PC software and browser based software can be downloaded for free at
www.NeuLog.com/dowload as well as a full software user guide. Note: Make sure not
to download and install both types of software, they will conflict on the computer.
Procedure:
1. Install the NeuLog software
2. Connect the USB-200 module to the PC or Mac
3. Connect the UVA sensor to the USB-200 module (they directly plug
together). Please note there is no calibration required for this sensor.
4. Open the NeuLog software.
5. Once a UVA sensor logo appears on the left side of the screen the probe
has been automatically identified and you can begin experimentation.
If the UVA sensor is not automatically identified then click the "Search for
6.
sensors" icon to find the sensor.
Select the "On-line experiment" button; this will open a graph below.
7.
Click on the "Module setup" button located on the UVA sensor icon in the
8.
module window to change the sensor settings if need be.
9. Click on the experiment set up button to change the experiment settings if
need be (experiment duration for example).
10. The UVA sensor will give a live reading in the box to the left of the screen
while plugged in.
11. To run an experiment and collect data click "Run experiment".
12. To end data collection early, click "Stop experiment".

Materials needed:

NUL-232 UVA Sensor

WIFI-201 WIFI module

BAT-200 Battery
Your UVA sensor needs to be connected to a WIFI-201 module. The WIFI-201 module
will create a closed NeuLog wifi network which will stream the NeuLog data to a
device of your choosing. Once your device is wirelessly connected to the NeuLog
network you can run experiments and collect data through a browser of your choosing.
