The Simple Logger
To connect the SLII to your computer do the following:

do not need.
2. If prompted, restart the computer after the installation is complete.
3. Insert the batteries into the SLII (also see Erasing the Memory below).
4. Connect the SLII to the computer using a USB cable for 1 and 2 channel instru-
ments or Bluetooth for 4 channel instruments.
Never use the USB connection for a 4 channel logger without removing all
inputs first.
5. Wait a few seconds for the SLII drivers to install. The drivers are installed the first

shortcut icon placed on the desktop during the installation.
