1. Firstly, install BeanScape® WiLow®software, then run
it by double clicking on the BeanScape®icon on the
desktop.
To connect the BeanDevice®WiLow®, for the first time or after a network reset, to your
WIFI Network, it is recommended to follow the next steps of configuration:
M8/USB cable
M8-6 PinsUSB 2.0
Third-party wifi Access Point
Before to start to configure your Beandevice®wilow®, make sure that your PC is connected
to a WIFI AP. You need to connect your Beandevice®wilow®to the same WIFI AP.

6.2 Using the datalogger
The BeanDevice®Wilow®comes equipped with an embedded datalogger up to 5 millions
data points (with events dating).
You can start the datalogging from the previously demonstrated data acquisition tab.
you can select Log only as data acquisition option for only using the embedded datalogger
without transmitting data to BeanScape®or you can select TX & LOG for jointly save data
on your BeanScape®Host computer and also in the datalogger at the same time.
You can set the BeanDevice®WiLow®to SA (Stand Alone) in order to perform measurement
on its own not relying at any WiFi network .
You can monitor the Datalogger status , actual strategy of the datalogger after getting
full,download strategy and memory Rate used from BeanScape®.
From this window, you can monitor the datalogger status, Full memory management
and the memory rate used.
