NeuLog dew point logger sensor
NUL-245
The NeuLog dew point sensor can be used for any science experiment or activity
which requires an accurate dew point reading such as in the fields of Biology, Exercise
Science, Environmental Science, Earth Science, Weather Science, Botany,
Entomology, etc.
The sensor comes pre-calibrated so you can start experimentation right out of the box
using any of the following guides.
Just a few of the thousands of possible experiments that can be done with the NUL-
245 sensors are: perspiration, photosynthesis rates, insect behavior, ecological
studies, animal behavior, weather patterns, and many more.
Dew point is a measurement which determines the temperature that water vapor (at a
constant barometric pressure) condenses back into a liquid at the same rate at which
it evaporates. Relative humidity and dew point are closely related; as the relative
humidity rises, the dew point temperature will rise closer to the actual environmental
temperature. At 100% relative humidity, the dew point temperature will equal the
environmental temperature.
The NeuLog dew point sensor can take accurate readings using the following units of
measure:
Celsius: The SI (International System of Units) unit of temperature.
Fahrenheit:
The temperature measurement unit of the English System
commonly used in the United States.
Quick start procedure:
PC or Mac Computer
Materials needed:
NUL-245 Dew Point Sensor
USB-200 USB Module
A USB to mini USB cable (which comes with the USB-200)
NEULOG DEW POINT LOGGER SENSOR GUIDE
Your dew point 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 dew point 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 dew point 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 dew point sensor logo appears on the left side of the screen the
probe has been automatically identified and you can begin experimentation.
If the dew point sensor is not automatically identified then click the "Search
6.
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 dew point sensor icon in
8.
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 dew point 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 either click "Run experiment".
12. To end data collection early, click "Stop experiment".
