NeuLog NUL-227 Manual

NeuLog acceleration logger sensor
NUL-227
The NeuLog acceleration sensor can be used for any science experiment or
activity which utilizes acceleration measurements such as in the fields of
Physics, Mechanics, Physiology, Exercise Science, etc.
The sensor comes pre-calibrated so you can start experimentation right out
of the box using this guide.
Hundreds of possible experimental subjects that can be done with the NUL-
227 sensors are: gravitational force, impulse, exercise studies, human and
animal acceleration, and many more
The acceleration sensor uses the following units of measure:

Meters per second squared (m/s
change in velocity over time.
Sensor orientation:
The NeuLog acceleration sensor has the ability to measure acceleration in
three different axes (X, Y, and Z). The figure below demonstrates the axes.
Note: You can also easily determine which axis is which by using this easy
method: First click on the sensor icon in the NeuLog software and select
the axis you wish to determine. Then change the physical orientation of the
acceleration sensor until the readout is roughly ± 9.8m/s

reads roughly ±9.8m/s , draw an imaginary line through the sensor towards

poles of the axis in relation to the sensor you are trying to determine.

After collecting data:
1. Open the NeuLog software and connect the acceleration sensor using
any of the following guides.
Once the sensor has been detected, click on "Offline Experiment"
2.
3. Click on the acceleration sensor icon on the left.
Click on the "Range" button and select an axis (X, Y, or Z).
4.
Click "Load Experiment" located on the top of the screen.
5.
6. Select which experiment you would like to upload so that the button
turns green, the default is "Newest" ("Newest" will select the most
recent data collection)
Click on "Load Experiments" which will load the data from your
7.
chosen axis onto the graph.
8. Resume from step 3 to load the other axes on the same graph.
