1) Check for any software updates.  Software updates can be downloaded HERE.

2) Before using the loggers via the wireless connection you must set a unique logger ID for each data logger. 

To set the IDs connect a logger with the DT175 wireless cradle to your computer via either USB or RS232 cable. 

Start MicroLab Plus software.  The software should detect the connected logger.

Go to the LOGGER MENU then SETUP LOGGER.  Set the CRADLE ID for the logger.  From this screen you also should set other parameters such as the logging interval.

Click the SEND SETUP button.  This will set the ID and activate the logger.

Follow this procedure for all data loggers making sure that each logger has a unique ID.

3) Connect the Receiver to your computer with either the included serial cable or a USB cable.  Power the receiver with its AC adapter.

4) Restart MicroLab Plus software.  The software should detect the connected receiver and any wireless loggers. 

Trouble Shooting:

To force transmission from the loggers you can press the TRS button on each DT175 data logger cradle.  If the Beeper is on at the receiver it will confirm the receipt of the transmission with a beep.

To retry connection between computer and the receiver you can click on the LOGGER MENU then the  COM SETUP MENU then click on TRY TO CONNECT.

Check for any software updates.  Software updates can be downloaded HERE.
