IR-LINK3 OPTICAL INTERFACE
To configure, monitor, or download data from the logger through the
NXperience software, you must use an IR-LINK3 Communication
Interface (purchased separately).
IR-LINK3 acts as an intermediary between the device and the
computer being used and allows you to transmit and receive data
from the logger via infrared signals.
The driver will be installed during the NXperience installation
process. Once this is done, IR-LINK3 will be recognized whenever it
is connected to the computer.

CONFIGURING THE LOGGER

To configure the logger, IR-LINK3 Communication Interface must
be connected to the computer being used.
IR-LINK3 must be directed constantly towards the logger
communication window (see Figure 5) and kept at approximately 15
cm:
