      Chapter 1: MultiLogPRO This chapter will focus on the MultiLogPRO data collection device and includes sections on:  How to operate the MultiLogPRO keypad  How to set up MultiLogPRO  How to connect MultiLogPRO to your computer General MultiLogPRO System Contents The following list indicates the items included with the MultiLogPRO.
  • Page 6 I/O-2, I/O-3 and I/O-4. These sockets are used to connect the sensors. Normally, all four sockets can be used simultaneously. To connect a sensor to the MultiLogPRO use one of the mini-din cables. Plug one end of the cable into the data logger - arrow facing up, and the other end into the sensor - arrow facing down.
  • Page 7 9-pin Type D male socket. If your computer is using this port for the mouse, look for a 25-pin D shell male socket near the mouse. Use the RS-232 9 to 25-pin adaptor to connect the MultiLogPRO serial cable to the 25-pin port (the adaptor is included with the MultiLogPRO).
  • Page 8: Battery

    Battery MultiLogPRO is equipped with a 7.2V NiCad rechargeable battery. Before you first start working with MultiLogPRO, charge the unit for 10 to 12 hours while it is turned off. Battery life is approximately 24 hours between charges. If the data logger’s main battery runs out, the internal 3V Lithium battery backs up the memory, so no data will be lost.
