1.3. Instrument Functions
The Model 1110 measures illumination from 0.1 to 200,000 lux. The instrument measures visible light only, and
excludes non-visible wavelengths (infrared, ultraviolet, and so on). It measures illumination in accordance with
the recommendations of the AFE (Association Française de l’Éclairage - French Association of Illumination).
The instrument also measures decrease in illumination over time due to aging or dusty light sources.
The Model 1110 can:
 Display illumination measurements in lux (lx) or foot-candles (fc).
 Record minimum, average (mean), and maximum measurements within a specified period.
 Record minimum/average/maximum for a surface or room.
 Record and store measurements.
 Communicate with a computer via Bluetooth or USB cable.
DataView with the Data Logger Control Panel software can be installed on a computer to allow you to configure
the instrument, view measurements in real time, download data from the instrument, and create reports.

2. SETUP
Before using your instrument, you must set its date and time through DataView (see §2.3). Other basic setup tasks
include selecting:
 Auto OFF interval (requires DataView)
 lx or fc for measurement units (can be done on the instrument or via DataView)
 Light source type (can be done on the instrument or via DataView)
2.1. DataView Installation
1. Insert the USB drive that comes with the instrument into a USB port on your computer.
2. If Autorun is enabled, an AutoPlay window appears on your screen. Click “Open folder to view files” to
display the DataView folder. If Autorun is not enabled or allowed, use Windows Explorer to locate and open
the USB drive labeled “DataView.”
3. When the DataView folder is open, find the file Setup.exe and double-click it.
4. The Setup screen appears. This enables you to select the language version of DataView to install. You can
also select additional install options (each option is explained in the Description field). Make your selections
and click Install.
5. The InstallShield Wizard screen appears. This program leads you through the DataView install process. As
you complete these screens, be sure to check Data Loggers when prompted to select features to install.
6. When the InstallShield Wizard finishes installing DataView, the Setup screen appears. Click Exit to close.
The DataView folder appears on your computer desktop.
2.2. Connecting the Instrument to a Computer
You can connect the instrument to a computer either through USB cable (provided with the instrument) or
Bluetooth®. The first two steps of the connection procedure depend on the connection type:
USB:

with DataView.
4. Open the DataView Data Logger Control Panel by clicking the icon.
5. In the menu bar at the top of the screen, select Help. In the drop-down menu that appears, click the option
Help Topics. This opens the Data Logger Control Panel Help system.
6. Use the Contents window in the Help system to locate and open the topic "Connecting to an Instrument."
This provides instructions explaining how to connect your instrument to the computer.
