NeuLog NUL-214 Quick Start

NeuLog magnetic field logger sensor
NUL-214
The NeuLog magnetic field sensor can be used for any science experiment or activity
which involves magnetic fields such as in the fields of Physics, Mechanics,
Environmental Science, Earth Science, etc.
The sensor comes pre-calibrated so you can start experimentation right out of the box
using any of the following guides.
Magnetic fields are areas surrounding a magnetic force in which all other magnets will
be affected. Generally magnetic fields are focused along two poles, north and south.
Electrical currents create magnetic fields by traveling in uniform motions about the
magnets poles and thus without an electric current you cannot have a magnetic field.
Just a few of the thousands of possible experimental subjects that can be done with
the NUL-214 sensors are: Earth's magnetic field, electromagnetic fields, magnetic field
strength over distance, explore bird migration, explore energy and forces, circuits, and
many more.
The magnetic field sensor uses the following unit of measure:

Milli Tesla (mT): The SI unit of magnetic flux density (magnetic field)
NEULOG MAGNETIC FIELD SENSOR GUIDE
Quick start procedure:
PC or Mac Computer
Materials needed:

NUL-214 Magnetic Field Sensor

USB-200 USB Module

A USB to mini USB cable (which comes with the USB-200)
Your magnetic field sensor needs to be connected to a USB-200 module. The USB-
200 module then connects to a computer via a USB to mini-USB cable. Please note
that you cannot plug the magnetic field sensor directly into the computer.
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 magnetic field 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 magnetic field sensor logo appears on the left side of the screen the
probe has been automatically identified and you can begin experimentation.
6. If the magnetic field sensor is not automatically identified then click the
"Search for 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 magnetic field sensor icon
8.
in the 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 magnetic field 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".
