Microlog Transfer Overview
The Microlog transfer function allows you to download measurement POINT setups to
the Microlog, upload collected data from the Microlog, check the Microlog status, and
configure, clear, or reset the Microlog.
The Microlog uses USB communications to communicate with @ptitude Analyst.
To set up the Microlog for data transfer using the USB communication type:
• Connect the supplied USB cable between the host computer’s USB port connector
and the Microlog.
• On the host computer, enable ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center for
USB connection. Do not set up a partnership. When connection between the
Microlog and ActiveSync is established, ActiveSync displays “Connected.”
 Reference Microsoft ActiveSync / Windows Mobile Device Center
help for more information.
 ActiveSync communication with the GX requires specific drivers to
be installed on the host PC. Refer to the Microsoft

ActiveSync
Communications section in Chapter 1 – Introduction to the SKF
GX Series Microlog for details.
• In the software, select the Transfer menu’s Microlog Analyzer option to open the
Microlog Analyzer dialog. On the Communication tab, select USB from the
Communication type drop-down list. When the connection between @ptitude
Analyst and the Microlog is established, the Microlog displays a generic
communications indicator on its screen and the blue LED lights up.
Important:
Do not disconnect the Microlog from the host computer while the generic
communications indicator displayed on the Microlog. If you disconnect the Microlog
before the process is complete, data may be lost, and you will need to do the
transfer procedure again. In some extreme cases, early disconnection may cause
the firmware to be corrupted.
• Proceed with data transfer operations using SKF @ptitude Analyst software
Transfer menu options.
 Download all desired ROUTEs to the Microlog at the same time to
avoid multiple restarts to the Microlog.
• After you have finished your transfer procedure, close the Microlog Analyzer
dialog.
• The Microlog automatically restarts and is ready for data collection. Once the
generic communication indicator screen disappears, you may safely disconnect the
Microlog from the host computer.
• From the Microlog main screen, use the left/right/up/down arrow buttons to
highlight the ROUTE option.
