Problem: When Pocket-Situ is launched, the Connection Wizard
appears.
Solution: Select "Direct connection" and "One" device on the fi rst

fi nal screen, name the con nec tion anything that you wish (or simply
accept the default name given) and tap Finish. You will use this one
connection setting regardless of the number of individual dataloggers
to which you will be con nect ing, so there is not need to create multiple
connection settings. After completing the Connection Wizard, the new
connection setting will appear in the navigation tree at the top of the

as referenced in the Operator's Manual for your In-Situ instrument.
