At the end of the deployment period, open the miniPAR Logger and connect it to a HOST computer via the USB connection. The miniPAR Logger will appear as a ‘thumb drive’. Your temperature, XYZ... - Page 7 The logger will start recording measurements at the start of the next minute. 3. Inspect the o-ring seal for debris. 4. Close the miniPAR Logger by screwing the white pressure housing back onto the black end cap. 5. Deploy the miniPAR Logger.

(Suggested, but optional) Delete the measurement folder, but NOT the miniPARControl program or the other .jar programs. 7. (Optional) Run the miniPARControl program to see the state of the miniPAR Logger such as battery voltage or to select a different recording interval. miniPARControl will also update the time if the logger has drifted in time. - Page 9 September 9, 2014 at 17:39:00 UTC will be named 2014-09-09 173900Z.txt. Files can be uploaded from the miniPAR Logger by connecting it to a HOST computer. Use the HOST computer’s copy/paste functions to move the files from the miniPAR Logger to the HOST computer.
- Page 10 Please, at the earliest convenient time, copy the recorded files to a HOST computer and delete them from the miniPAR Logger’s SD card. Also, do not use the miniPAR Logger to store files unrelated to the miniPAR Logger’s operation.
- Page 11 Your measured voltage will be 2X what is shown below since there are two batteries in series within the miniPAR Logger. You can operate batteries down to about 2.4 Volts (for two in series, 1.2 Volts on the graph below). Your batteries are dead if the measurement of each battery adds to less than 2.4 Volts.
- Page 12 When the white pressure housing is screwed back onto the black end cap, these drops can become trapped inside the miniPAR Logger. Be sure to carefully dry the o- ring and adjacent surfaces (especially underneath) prior to closing the miniPAR Logger. Re-lubricate the o-ring at this time.

ST O RAG E W HEN NO T I N USE Remove the batteries. Keep the black end covered with the cap supplied by PME. If the cap is lost, then cover the black end cap with aluminum foil. There may be a calibration effect of ambient lighting so attempt to keep ambient light from reaching the sensing foil as much as possible. -

End the miniPARControl program by closing the window. Disconnect the miniPAR Logger’s USB cable. Upon disconnection of the USB cable, the miniPAR Logger will begin logging or remain halted as indicated by the position of the Logger Control Switch. 2.3 miniPARPlot Begin the program operation by clicking “miniPARPlot.jar”. - Page 15 Logger recorded and the CAT.txt file. Click “Plot” to begin plotting. The program reads all the miniPAR Logger’s data files in the selected folder. It concatenates these and presents the plot shown below.

Select the folder that contains the files recorded by the miniPAR Logger. If the miniPARPlot program is run directly from the miniPAR Logger, the program will suggest the folder located on the miniPAR Logger. You may accept this by clicking “Concatenate”, or you may click “Select DATA Folder” to browse your HOST computer’s hard drive. -

Turn the white pressure housing counterclockwise relative to the black end cap. Close the miniPAR Logger by reversing this procedure after being sure that the o-ring is free from debris. If debris is found, then wipe it off with a clean, lint-free cloth. PME recommends Kimtech Kimwipes for this application. -
