4. Follow the on screen installation wizard
* If after a few minutes autorun has not occurred select the Run option from the Windows
Start Menu. In the Command Line box, type d:\setup and press enter (where d:\ is your
CD\DVD drive, modify if required)
Important: Please ensure the software is installed before connecting the Squirrel data
logger.
3.2 Connecting your Squirrel Data Logger
You can connect to your logger by using one of the following methods;
1. Serial (RS232), including serial adaptors
2. USB
3. Ethernet (where fitted)
4. Wi-fi (where fitted)
Please see below for more information.
Serial (RS232)
For information on using serial adaptors please see the SquirrelView help file. If using a
straight serial (RS232) cable, connect one end to the serial port on the logger and the other
end to the PC’s serial port. Once connected you are ready to begin communications.

USB
Connect one end of the supplied USB lead to the logger and the other end to the PC.
On detection of the logger the PC will install the Grant Instruments SQ20XX USB device
drivers
Win 7/Vista - USB Device Drivers are automatically installed and no further action is required
Win XP - During the installation the USB drivers were pre-installed so the wizard will
automatically locate the driver. On the ‘Found New Hardware Wizard’ select ‘No, not this
time’ and for all the other screens select ‘Next’ to complete the installation.
Select Continue Anyway on the Hardware Installation warning which refers to Windows
Logo testing. Once the driver installation has completed you are ready to communicate to
your logger.
If you experience any problems refer to Troubleshooting->20xx USB Drivers in SquirrelView
Help.

Whilst all channels are assigned to the same interval, Interval A, all intervals can be
viewed in the case of a more complex setup from SquirrelView
To avoid problems with wiring configuration, sensor types are not editable once set but
their range and sensor power requirements can be. Delete a channel if you require to
change its Sensor Type
If the number of sensors is exceeded when adding new channels, the message "Invalid
Setup" will be displayed
Calculated channels setup from SquirrelView will not be shown on the view channels
option
The reference junction can not be deleted while a sensor type that requires it for
correct operation is set up, e.g. a thermocouple
You cannot change a setup whilst the logger is armed
The message "Sub-Second rate" will be displayed when attempting to view or edit a
Sample Intervals that have been set to less than 1 second. Use Squirrelview Logger
