XR5 Data Loggers
Overview: Using the XR5 Data Logger
(First time or typical user)
1. Launch LogXR Software (click Start | Programs | LogXR).
2. Connect the XR5 Data Logger to a com port on your computer using the IC209 Interface Cable.
From the main menu:
3. Click Port | Select and select the com port that is connected to the IC209 Cable.
4. Click Setup | Extract and then edit the Setup for your logging session.
5. Send the Setup to the XR5 (Click Send | Send Setup from the Setup menu).
6. Click Status | Extract to confirm that the XR5 is operating as intended.
While the XR5 Data Logger is connected to a computer running LogXR Software, you can initiate the
following actions from the main menu:
Setup | Extract
Create or Modify a Setup for a new logging session.
Real Time | Text
Display sensor readings updated every two seconds.
Real Time | Text and write to file
Similar to Real Time | Text, but also writes sensor readings to
a text file every two seconds. This is done while
simultaneously logging data to the XR5's internal memory if
logging is active.
Status | Extract
The XR5’s time clock, setup and current conditions are
displayed.
Transfer | Data
All logged data is saved to a text file.
XR5 data files (created from Transfer | Data) may be plotted as a Graph (select File | Plot Graph) or viewed
as tabular data (select File | View Text File). XR5 data files may also be opened with an external text editor
(like Windows Notepad) or spreadsheet program (like Excel).
