SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The SDI G-L gger s ftware package c nsists f tw pr grams, SDIServer and SDIL gger. B th
applicati ns must be installed and running f r the G-L gger t functi n and display data. Installati n
sh uld take less than 5 minutes. Y u can als d wnl ad additi nal c pies fr m the SDI website.
SDIServer Explained
SDIServer sh uld be launched pri r t launching SDIL gger. This is a passive pr gram and runs in the
backgr und t supp rt the SDIL gger pr gram’s features. It can als act as a server, transmitting data
t the SDIL gger applicati n via TCP/IP t supp rt rem te access thr ugh the SDIL gger pr gram.
SDIServer must be running n the same c mputer t which the 33x0 is c nnected via the USB cable.
SDIL gger Explained
The SDIL gger pr gram is the graphical user interface f r the 33x0. This is where y u can c nfigure,
view, rec rd, and play back the data y u c llect. The SDIL gger may either be installed n the same
c mputer as SDIServer, r n a different c mputer where rem te viewing is desired.
Installing the S ftware
1) Using Wind ws Expl rer, pen the CD drive r unzip the d wnl ad f lder
2) Click n Setup.exe
3) Click YES t all w the installer t make changes t y ur c mputer
4) Click NEXT n the G-L gger Setup Wizard screen
5) Check b th b xes and click INSTALL
6) Click NEXT t the Device Driver Installati n Wizard
7) Click FINISH t c mplete the Device Driver Installati n Wizard
If y ur PC already has .NET installed, the installer will detect this and pr ceed t step 8. Steps a. thr ugh
d. bel w will nly appear if y ur PC needs .NET installed. In this event, y u will need an internet
c nnecti n t d wnl ad .NET.
a. Click OK t begin .NET framew rk d wnl ad
b. Click OK t install .NET framew rk
c. Check the b x t accept the .NET license terms and click INSTALL
d. Click FINISH t c mplete the .NET installati n
8) Click FINISH t the G-L gger Setup Wizard
SDIServer
Always launch SDIServer prior to launching SDILogger. It must run in the background on the computer
that connects to the 33x0 to provide a server plat orm or the user inter ace.
Ensure y ur G-L gger is c nnected t the c mputer, the acceler meter(s) are wired pr perly, and the
25-Pin Strip is securely c nnected pri r t launching the SDIServer applicati n.

The 33x0 supp rts up t 10Khz/channel and has a built-in hardware filter at 50% f sample rate. Each

the sample rate in hertz per channel, if y u are trying t see 1 Hz vibrati n data, increase the sample rate

When ch sing the sampling rate, als take int acc unt that the G-L gger hardware aut matically
applies a l w pass, anti-aliasing filter with a cut- ff frequency that is 25% that f the ch sen sampling
