NeuLog GPS logger sensor
NUL-243
The NeuLog GPS (Global Positioning System) sensor can be used
for any science experiment which utilizes sensor readings in relation
to the location of each reading. It is mostly used in the fields of
Biology and Environmental science.
The sensor comes pre-calibrated so you can start experimentation
right out of the box using this guide.
Some of the hundreds of possible experimental subjects that can be
studied with the NUL-243 sensor are: Environmental monitoring
(weather, soil quality, water quality, and temperature), fitness testing,
and more!
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based satellite
navigation system that provides location and time information in all
weather conditions, anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an
unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.
The GPS sensor's measurement units are:
Location in latitude and longitude data
Altitude in m.
Also, the sensor can be used as a USB module and can be
connected directly to the PC for configuring it and other sensors
connected to it.
The data from the sensors can be uploaded into the NeuLog
software.
NEULOG GPS LOGGER SENSOR GUIDE
With the NeuLog software data from the sensors connected to the
GPS sensor can be analyzed. The software can also export the GPS
data to Google Earth so the measurements and their locations can
be displayed together.
The NeuLog software is used after an experiment is carried out in
off-line mode.
Off-line experiments
(Off-line experiments are when you do not have a sensor connected
directly to a computer, tablet, smartphone, or NeuLog viewer).
Materials needed:
NUL-243 GPS Sensor
BAT-200 Battery Module
Any NeuLog sensor other than NUL-209 (photo gate sensor)
Materials needed to configure your offline experiment:
USB to mini USB cable (included with the USB-200 module)
Procedure:
1.
Go outside where the GPS sensor can receive the satellites'
signals.
2.
Connect the GPS sensor to a charged battery module and
(optional) to any other sensor(s).
3.
When connecting the battery, the GPS sensor will flash once
with a red LED and three times with a blue LED. Any connected
sensors' red LED will flash three times.
