Using the Vernier

1. Attach temperature probe to the ULI in either DIN 1 or DIN 2.

2. Attach the computer cable and the power cord to the ULI

3. Connect the computer cable to the modem port on the back of the Mac.

4. The ULI must be turned on before loading the Mac Temp Program. Turn the red ON/OFF switch to ON. You should see the red and green LEDs should light up.

9. Next, go to the Display menu and click on Axes. Set the x axis for the desired time, in seconds. Set the y axis for the best temperature range. For example, if you know that the temperature will not be going over 50^oC, then set the temperature for a maximum of 55-60^oC. Click on Units to change the time from seconds to minutes or hours.
10. When you are ready to start a temperature measurement, put the thermister in whatever you are going to be measuring. Allow the temperature reading to stabilize, you will see it blinking just below the x axis. When you are ready to start collecting data then click on Start. Data collection will stop automatically at the end of the time set on the x axis. Data collection can be stopped manually by clicking on Stop.
