Data Logger Congurator Utility
Geolux provides a user-friendly PC application, Geolux Instrument Congurator, for setting up the
Geolux SmartObserver data logger’s operating parameters as well as taking an image with the
Geolux HydroCam camera in case the camera is connected to the data logger.
When started, the Geolux Instrument Congurator displays its main window. Picture 9. shows the
Geolux Instrument Congurator main window on start-up.
To connect the Geolux Instrument Congurator with the instrument, connect your PC to the data
logger using a serial cable connection. Then, click the Connect button in the upper left corner and
select SmartObserver from the window which appears. In the next window, select the appropriate
COM port. When the Connect button is clicked, Geolux Instrument Congurator will try to establish
a data link between your PC and the data logger. If the connection is successful, the device will
appear under Connected devices and the Settings tab will be displayed as shown in Picture 10.
