This document provides instructions for connecting a datalogger to a computer via an RS232 connection and using accompanying software to record, download, analyze, and graph data. It describes the necessary hardware, including wiring diagrams; software requirements and setup; how to communicate and record data; download data from the datalogger memory or hard drive; convert data to Excel format; and set the sampling time. The overall purpose is to enable users to capture sensor measurements with a datalogger, transfer the data to a computer, and analyze trends or visualize the data in graphs.
