To use the ADC-16 you should connect the 9-pin connector on the ADC-16 to a spare serial port on your computer using the cable provided. If you have a 25-way serial port, use the 9 to 25 way adapter supplied.
To check that the unit is working:
| 1. | Start up PicoLog for Windows |
| 4. | At the Recording dialog, click OK |
| 5. | At the Sampling dialog, click OK |
| 6. | Set the converter type to ADC-16 |
| 7. | Select the COM port to which you have connected the ADC-16 |
| 9. | At the ADC-16 channels dialog, double-click CH1 Unused |
| 10. | At the Edit ADC-16 channel dialog, click OK |
| 11. | Back at the ADC-16 channels dialog, click OK |
| 12. | The recorder view should now display the voltage on channel 1 (near 0 mV if nothing connected) |
| 13. | Next, connect a suitable voltage (e.g. from a 1.5 V battery) to the channel. Pin connections are marked on the ADC-16 and also listed here. |
