Q:
I have fitted four batteries but nothing happens on the display when I press any of the Explorer buttons?A:
Remove and check that all batteries are fitted correctly as shown in the battery holder. They must all be new Alkaline batteries - others will not work properly and must not be used.Q:
I have other USB accessories for my computer which take their power from the computer but my USB Explorer does not seem to work without batteries?A:
Because Explorer needs to be able to work away from the computer to log and store sensor data, you always need to have batteries installed.Q:
Can I turn off internal sensors I am not using?A:
Most Explorer software lets you switch on and off sensor traces. If you want to switch off an internal sensor you can plug in a standard unused 3.5mm stereo jack plug (from most electrical suppliers) which will stop that sensor working.Q:
Sometimes when I am running a long experiment with Explorer graphing live on my computer it seems to stop logging.A:
Some computer 'screen savers' can interrupt continuous datalogging, so we suggest screen savers are turned off.Q:
My Explorer seems to be doing some odd things but my batteries are OK - can I reset Explorer?A:
Occasionally any microprocessor based system may need resetting. To fully reset Explorer, remove 1 battery, wait for around 10 seconds and then while holding the Blue button down refit the battery - Explorer should now fully reset.Q:
I have tried using the fibre optic to enable me to measure light level but I find the readings are quite a bit lower.A:
Fibre optics do lose some light but you can reduce the loss by carefully cutting the fibre square with a sharp knife.Q:
I wish to use Explorer as a hand held meter but the display automatically turns off after a while - can I keep it on?A:
Keep the meter display on by pressing and HOLDING the green button on for more than 4 seconds when switching on Explorer.Q:
Can I use Explorer with Windows Vista?A:
Yes. Provided you run LogIT Lab version 3.21n or better and Datalogging/Junior Insight 4.21 or better.
