and automaticallyput the Global Logger icon on the desktop.
Serial communication(WL16SOnly): If you are using the RS-232 serial port to
accessthe data logger, no further action is needed. You can start using the logger
by openingthe Global Loggerapplicationprogram. Skip the next section.
USB Driver Installation (WL16UOnly): With the installationCD in the
CDROM
drive
and DC powerappliedto the logger, plug the USBcable into the data logger to
open the ADD New HardwareWizard. The menusthat follow will look different for
different operationsystemsbut the procedureis the same. Do not allow the
Hardware Wizard to automaticallysearch for the driver. Instead, specify the
location(CDROM). If a generic driver gets, or has been previously installed, it must
be uninstalledbeforeproceedingby using the Add or RemoveProgramssection of
the Control Panel. Instead, click the SearchExternal Media box or Specify a
Location
box and install the driver fromthe CDROM. Runningthe Setupprogramthat installs
the GlobalLogger softwarealso installs a folder with the driver in it. This locationcan
also be specifiedif the CDROMis not available; although, it is recommendedthat the
driver be installedat the same time the GlobalLoggeris installed.
