1. Supply power to the data logger. If connecting via USB for the first time, you must first
install USB drivers by using Device Configuration Utility (select your data logger, then on
the main page, click Install USB Driver). Alternately, you can install the USB drivers using EZ
Setup. A USB connection supplies 5 V power (as well as a communication link), which is
adequate for setup, but a 12 V battery will be needed for field deployment.
NOTE:
Ensure the data logger is connected directly to the computer USB port (not to a
USB hub). We recommended always using the same USB port on your computer.
2. Physically connect your data logger to your computer using a USB cable, then open Device
Configuration Utility and select your data logger.
3. Select the communication port used to communicate with the data logger from the COM
Port list.
4. Press Connect, click the Settings Editor tab >Advanced sub-tab > USB Configuration list >
Virtual Ethernet (RNDIS).
