Connecting up the equipment
To gain experience with the system, we recommend connecting up a small system,
with just a single converter, next to the computer. Once you are confident that you
understand how it works, you can install the complete system in the correct place.
1. Logger to PC. Connect the logger to either of the 9-pin D9 serial ports on the
computer using the serial cable, or use the serial to USB converter connected to
one of the computer's USB ports. If you use the serial to USB converter, you must
install its driver software on the PC before you plug it in.
2. Power. Plug the mains adapter into a mains socket and then plug the DC connector
into the logger.
3. Network. Plug one end of the network cable into the logger, then plug the other
end into one of the network sockets (labelled 'Net') on the converter.
4. Sensor. Plug the sensor into the first sensor socket on the converter.
Now go to installing the software
