2.3 System requirements
The software is designed to run on Windows-based PCs (from Win 98 onwards, Win
ME, 2000, XP, Vista, Win 7). The installation requires the following conditions:
• Standard PC from 386 onwards with a keyboard and mouse (or equivalent pointing
device)
• CD-ROM drive (for installation), or Internet access (for installation)
• an available USB port
• Graphic resolution 800 x 600 or higher
• approx. 10 MB of free hard disk space for installation
• a logger LOG 100 or LOG 110
A 32-bit Windows® operating system (at least from Win98 onwards) or a more
modern Windows® operating system (32/64-bit) must be installed on the PC. Based
on our experience, a safe operation of the operating system installed is a
prerequisite for proper functioning of the Log-Graph software.

2.5 Communication between the PC and the logger
To communicate, the logger and the PC use a USB port which is configured as
serial COM port from 1-256 via the drivers (similar to a USB serial adapter). The
properties of this port match those of a serial port at 115200 baud, 8 data bits, 1
stop bit and no parity.
