I. INTRODUCTION
VinciLab 2 is a modern and versatile data-logging and control solution for STEM
Education. It can be used as a standalone device or as a lab interface connected, via USB
or Wi-Fi, to computers (Mac and Windows), mobile devices (iPad, Android), and
Chromebooks.
VinciLab 2 runs on Android 11 and is preloaded with several applications. The Coach 7
application is the main application for data collection and control when using VinciLab 2
standalone. Other applications, present on the device, offer many other useful
functionalities such as setting up the device and its wireless connections, managing user
files, remote desktop control, etc.
VinciLab 2 is equipped with two processors: the main processor to control the device’s
operating system and screen, and a measurement processor to control the measurement
and control processes. It has 2 GB RAM memory and 8 GB flash memory for applications
and user files. The 5” capacitive color touch screen provides an 800 x 480 pixels display
offering easy control of the device.
For connecting sensors, VinciLab 2 has four BT (right-handed) sensor inputs A1, A2, A3,
and A4, which support CMA sensors. Additionally, it has two built-in sensors: a 3-axis
accelerometer and a microphone.
An output D1 is meant for connecting the CMA ControlBox for controlling its outputs or
generating analogue signals. An output D2 is a dedicated HDMI output allowing to present
the VinciLab’s screen on a big screen.
For wireless connectivity VinciLab is equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. By using wireless
connectivity and the RustDesk application the Vinci-Lab’s screen can be remotely viewed
and controlled from any computer or mobile device connected to the same network.
VinciLab is delivered with:
• USB cable for connecting to the USB port or USB power adapter,
• USB power adapter for powering and charging,
• User’s Quick Start Guide and User’s Guide.
This guidebook is intended to provide instructions for the basic operations of VinciLab 2.

3. Powering VinciLab 2
An internal rechargeable battery (Li-Poly 3.7 V, 4000 mAh, located in the back
compartment), powers VinciLab 2. The battery icon on the status bar of the Home Screen
indicates the current power level.
VinciLab 2 is delivered with its battery partially charged. The device will work as long as
the battery provides enough power, or it is powered via the power adapter. Before the
battery becomes too low for operating the device a warning will appear on the screen. If
you continue working without charging, the device will shut down. A fully discharged
battery requires circa 3 hours of charge time.
To charge battery
• Connect the USB cable to the USB C port of VinciLab 2.
• Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB power adapter.
• Plug the USB power adapter into a standard power outlet.
- or -
• Connect the USB cable to the USB C port of VinciLab 2.
• Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB port of your computer. The
efficiency of charging via a USB port is limited by the maximal current provided by a
USB socket (500 mA for USB 2.0 and 800 mA for USB 3.0).
Battery life will depend on the screen brightness and on the sensors and features used,
but typically you can expect to use VinciLab for at least 4 hours without recharging it. To
save power in the Settings app dim the brightness of the screen (Display > Brightness
level) or set the screen timeout (Display > Screen timeout). You can also press shortly the
Power button to turn off the screen when you do not need it.
The long-time life of the battery is more than 300 full (0 to 100%) charging cycles. If the
charging cycle is not full e.g., 30% to 60%, it will last more charging cycles. Exposure to
temperatures over 35oC will significantly reduce battery life. A replacement battery can
be ordered separately (CMA art. code 007bat).
Notes:
• VinciLab can be used while the battery is being charged by the power adapter.
• VinciLab typically consumes about 700 mA. If you set the screen brightness to the maximum
level, do a lot of data transferring via Wi-Fi, or connect many then power consumption will
be much higher.
• When VinciLab discharges fully it will not turn on until a minimum charge of 5% is reached.
This minimum level will arise when your battery gets older.
• For the proper functioning of VinciLab 2 for sensor recognition and measurement, we
recommend having the battery level not lower than 20%.
• When the USB port does not provide enough power, VinciLab will not be charged, or
charging will be significantly slower.
• On most computers, USB ports do not provide enough power for the simultaneous operation
of VinciLab and charging its battery.
• VinciLab can work without a battery when connected to power.
