Software and Driver Installation:
Global DO Monitor Software Installation: This software is for use on Windows
based desktop and laptop computers only. Insert the software installation CD and
run the Setup program. This will install the Global Logger application in the Program
Files folder and automatically put the Global Logger icon on the desktop.
Serial communication: If you are using the RS-232 serial port to access the data
logger, no further action is needed. You can start using the logger by opening the
Global Logger application program. If you plan to use the USB port, you must install
the driver. You may consider installing the driver now, even if you plan to use the
serial port.
USB Driver Installation: With the installation CD in the CDROM drive and DC
power applied to the logger, plug the USB cable into the data logger to open the
ADD New Hardware Wizard. The menus that follow will look different for different
operation systems but the procedure is the same. Do not allow the Hardware
Wizard to automatically search for the driver. Instead, specify the location
(CDROM). If a generic driver gets, or has been previously installed, it must be
uninstalled before proceeding by using the Add or Remove Programs section of the
Control Panel. Instead, click the Search External Media box or Specify a Location
box and install the driver from the CDROM. Running the Setup program that installs
the Global Logger software also installs a folder with the driver in it. This location
can also be specified if the CDROM is not available; although, it is recommended
that the driver be installed at the same time the Global Logger is installed.
The following menus apply to the Windows XP operating system.
1) Do not let Windows search
for software. Click “No, not
at this time” when asked if
Windows Update can search
for software.
