NeuLog NUL-236 Manual

NeuLog respiration monitor belt logger sensor NUL-236
The NeuLog respiration sensor can be used for any science experiment which
involves respiration measurements such as in the fields of Exercise Science, Biology,
Physiology, Human Health, etc.
The sensor comes pre-calibrated so you can start experimentation right out of the box
using this guide.
Among hundreds of possible experimental subjects that can be studied with the NUL-
236 sensor are: exercise studies, human health studies, athlete comparisons,
respiration abnormalities, and many more.
The respiration sensor's measurement units are:
Arbitrary analog units (Arb): An arbitrary unit to demonstrate wave functions without
units.

Using the respiration monitor belt:

To accurately record respiration rates, you must first properly attach the respiration
monitor belt to the user. Note: The belt works through clothing though try to minimize
layers for the best readings possible.
1. Unwrap the respiration belt and locate the Velcro connection pads.
2. Place the respiration belt so the Velcro pads are facing outwards.
Wrap the respiration belt tightly, without causing discomfort, around the user's

lower ribs and diaphragm area.
4. Ensure that the rubber tubing connected directly to the respiration belt is situated
above the user's naval facing downwards.
5. Close the air pressure release valve by twisting the metallic knob until it tightens.
Use the hand-pump to fill the respiration belt's bladder until it forms a snug but

not uncomfortable fit.
7. Run an experiment following one of the following guides.

Quick start procedure:
PC or Mac Computer
Materials needed:

NUL-236 Respiration Sensor

USB-200 USB Module

USB to mini USB cable (included with the USB-200 module)
Your respiration 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 respiration sensor directly into the computer.
The browser based application can be downloaded for free at
well as a full application user guide.
Choose "Downloads" on the main menu and then choose "Software and Application".
Procedure:
1. Install the NeuLog application.
2. Connect the USB-200 module to the PC or Mac.
3. Connect the respiration sensor to the USB-200 module (they directly plug
together). Please note that there is no calibration required for this sensor.
4. Open the NeuLog application by clicking on the shortcut on the screen.
5. Once a respiration sensor module box appears on the left side of the screen the
probe has been automatically identified and you can begin experimentation.
If the respiration sensor is not automatically identified then click the "Search for
6.
sensors" icon to find the sensor.
Select the "On-line experiment" icon; this will open a graph below.

to change the sensor's settings if need be.
9. Click on the "Experiment set up" icon to change the experiment settings if need
be (experiment duration for example).
10. The respiration sensor will give a live reading in its module box to the left of the
screen while plugged in.
To run an experiment and collect data click the "Run experiment" icon.
11.
To end data collection early, click the "Stop experiment" icon.
