Communicating With The Nova5000 - Fourier MultiLogPRO User Manual

2.10. Communicating with the Nova5000

You can use MultiLab to communicate with Fourier's Nova5000 computer and data
logger. The Nova5000 is connected directly to your PC and used as a standalone
data logger instead of the MultiLogPRO. Using the Nova5000 in this way lets you
benefit from the full range of MultiLab PC functionality, not all of which is available in
the lighter MultiLab CE version.
To run the Nova5000 from your PC:
1. Install MultiLab 1.4.11 or higher on your PC. This version includes
the necessary software support and drivers to detect the Nova5000
when connected to the PC.
2. Install MultiLab from your Nova5000 software CD included with your
Nova5000 packaging.
3. On the Nova5000, open the Control Panel and open the Logger
Options icon
4. The Logger Option dialog box will open. Tap (using the Nova5000
stylus) the Run logger from PC button and tap OK.
5. You will be prompted to reset the Nova5000 for the changes to take
affect. Tap OK. When the Nova5000 OS loads again it will be ready
to work with the MultiLab for PC software.
6. Using the Nova5000 USB sync cable, connect the Nova5000 to your
PC's USB port.
7. Launch MultiLab from your PC. Go to Logger > Com Setup, select
the Nova communication option and click Try to connect.
8. MultiLab will then detect the Nova5000. The status pane in the lower
left of the MultiLab window will indicate Nova was detected.
