NeuLog RF-200 Manual

NeuLog RF communication module
RF-200
The RF communication module allows for remote operation of all NeuLog
sensors. The RF modules communicate wirelessly with one another –
acting similarly to a very long cable between the sensor and a computer to
stream data to the NeuLog software in real time.
The working range of the RF module is up to 20 meters (65 feet) which
adds a large amount of flexibility to truly customize your experiments to
your specific needs.
The computer does not need to have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi capabilities;
everything required is built directly into the RF communication module.
The RF modules will work with any computer which has a USB port to
connect the USB module into.
Using NeuLog RF modules:
As with all NeuLog devices, setting up the RF communication modules is
very quick and easy. It is important however to follow these few steps to
properly collect data.
Materials needed:

2 RF communication modules (RF-200)

USB module (USB-200)

Battery module (BAT-200)

Any NeuLog sensor

Setting the RF ID number:
For your RF modules to properly work they must be set to the same ID
channel (paired) so they can "speak" with one another directly. This is
done very easily using the NeuLog software. Keep in mind, if you have
multiple pairs of RF modules in the same area they must be set to different
RF ID values (1 through 9) to prevent interference.
1. Connect the USB module into your computer using the included USB
to micro-USB cable.
2. Connect both of the RF modules into the USB module.
3. Open the NeuLog software.
Click on the "NeuLog Tools" button located at the top of the screen.
4.
In the dropdown menu click on "Set RF ID".
5.
6. Select an ID number (1 through 9) and make note of your selection.
7. Note: To pair your RF modules, set the ID of each RF to the same
value (1 through 9).
8. Both of your RF communication modules are now set to your chosen
value (paired).
9. Note: This setup is not required prior to every use as long as you keep
modules with similar ID's paired for experimentation.
Connecting sensors using RF modules:
Once you have paired two RF communication modules to the same RF ID
number (1 through 9) you can begin connecting Neulog modules and
sensors together. Again it may be easiest to imagine the RF communication
modules as a long cable between the sensor and the USB module.
1. Connect the USB module into a computer using the included USB to
mini USB cable.
