1. INTRODUCTION
The RG7100 USB Desktop Interface serves as the data transfer link between PC software and non-USB
logging products.
• Used with all models that establish PC communication via the 3 contact pins at the rear of your Logger.
•Installs without a proprietary driver - uses the Windows built-in communication interface driver
instead.
• Red and green LED’s provide feedback about the data exchange between Logger and software.
• The RG7100 Interface Cradle comes with micro-USB to USB-A cable to connect your Interface Cradle to
your computer.
2. CONNECTING THE INTERFACE CRADLE
Connect the Interface Cradle to your computer using the included USB cable. Please note that the wider
part of the Interface Cradle’s USB socket is oriented towards the bottom.
Both LED’s will briefly blink to indicate your computer has recognized the new device. Windows will now
proceed with the setup. This may take a few moments. Once the setup is complete, the Interface Cradle
is ready for use.
3. USING THE INTERFACE CRADLE
• Open LogTag Analyzer. The green LED will turn on.
• Insert the Logger into the Interface Cradle, contacts first onto the slot and towards the rear. The
automatic download starts. The green LED will turn off and the red will turn on to indicate the software
is exchanging information with the Logger.
• If the data exchange was successful, the green LED blinks. You can now continue with additional tasks,
such as configuring the Logger or hibernating it.
• When the Logger is being configured the red LED turns on again. Once the configuration parameters
have been successfully transferred to the Logger, the green LED blinks.
• If an error occurred (for example, if the recorded data could not be downloaded, or the Logger could
not be configured) the red LED blinks. The most common causes for this are a low battery, dirty contacts
on the Logger or trying to download a while a Logger is still cold.
You will also see the red LED blinking, if you don’t provide a password where required or cancel an
operation mid way. In this case, correct the issue and try again.
• Remove the Logger and the green LED will change from ‘blinking’ to ‘on’, ready for more Loggers to be
inserted.
