On the enclosed USB stick you will find the DataService/Configurator software associated with the device as well as the ProfiSignal / ProfiSignal 20 version you may have purchased, including the corresponding additional software functions (depending on the license). When installing the software, the license file created for you on the USB stick supplied is used. Please keep the USB stick in a safe place, as it contains your personalized license!
To install the software, insert the USB stick into a free USB port on your PC, open the newly displayed drive in Windows Explorer and double-click to start the "setup.exe" application. Please confirm the further installation steps with "OK" or "Next".
Please note that administrator rights are generally required to install the software and that the device is only connected to the PC after the software has been installed!

* You can also copy the contents of the installation medium to a network drive beforehand if you do not have access to a USB port.
Hardware connection
Voltage supply
The Loggito Logger / Loggito Gate devices are supplied via the three-pin plug with a power supply unit (not included in the scope of delivery, optionally available) with 12 ... 24 VDC / min. 7.5 W depending on the version.
The Loggito USB devices are supplied with 5 VDC exclusively via the integrated mini USB socket.
If you have connected the power supply correctly, the Loggito device starts up and is ready for operation after a short time (maximum one minute). This is achieved when the power LED lights up blue continuously and the status LED flashes green.

Connection with USB cable
Connect Loggito Logger / Loggito Gate to a PC
Connect your Loggito Logger or Loggito Gate device via the supplied USB cable to the PC on which you have installed the supplied software as described above.
A TCP/IP connection is established via the USB connection. For this purpose, a virtual network interface is automatically created on the PC and an IP address is automatically assigned to the PC by Loggito Logger / Loggito Gate.
After starting the DataService/Configurator, you can search for the device in the "Connections" tab by right-clicking on "DataService ID xxxx" → "Add driver" → "Search Delphin devices" in the overview.
In the overview, select your device by ticking "Add" and confirm with the "Add" button. If you have a large number of Delphin devices, you can sort them by serial number by clicking on "Serial no." to find the desired device more quickly in the overview. The serial number of the device can be found on the silver sticker on the back of the device.
Loggito Logger and Loggito Gate devices can not only be connected to a PC via the USB interface, but can also be integrated into a network via LAN or WLAN. These options are described in detail in the online help (F1 button).
Connecting Loggito USB to a PC
Connect your Loggito USB device to the PC on which you have installed the supplied software as described above using the USB cable supplied. Device drivers may now be installed. After starting the DataService/Configurator, the device is then directly available in the DataService and can be configured.
Software start
DataService/Configurator
To configure channels or connect the devices to the PC, please start the DataService/Configurator on your desktop or from the Windows Start menu.
In the "Connections" tab, you can see the existing connections or add new connections as described above.
The Channels tab is used to configure the individual devices and measuring points. Click on the "+" sign to open the tree view of the device. Under the channel I/O Channels and "Analog Input Group #xx" you will find the respective available channels (device-dependent).
The channels are already displaying random measured values even though they have not yet been configured or no sensors have been connected. This behavior is not a malfunction, but is caused by the device's internal signal processing.
Channel configuration
Double-click on the respective channel to open the channel configuration dialog. Here you can set the name and sensor type, as well as other data relating to the sensor or the channel to be recorded. The configuration dialog also contains connection diagrams for all supported sensor types, which show you exactly which terminals to connect the sensor cables to.
Now select the correct sensor type and connect the sensor to your Loggito device as shown in the connection diagram.
IMPORTANT: Check the "Active" box at the top left so that the channel generates measured values!
Click on "OK" to transfer your entries directly to the device and start measuring with the new settings immediately. The measured values can be seen directly in the "Measured values" column of the DataService/Configurator.
Start online analysis with ProfiSignal
The ProfiSignal software is not included with your Loggito device and must be purchased separately.
You can use the ProfiSignal software Go, Basic or Klicks to display the measured value curve, known as a trend, clearly in diagram form (e.g. y(x), y(t), logic diagram) and then analyze and export the measured values.
After you have started the ProfiSignal software (double-click on the corresponding icon), create a new online analysis by clicking on "File" → "New online analysis..." in the menu.
After selecting the diagram type y(t), the channel selection box opens. The channels to be displayed are selected and added to the channel selection on the right using the "Add" button. Click "OK" to open the trend and display the incoming measured values. If no measured values are visible, please call up the NTP time synchronization in the online help (F1).
Start online analysis with ProfiSignal 20
The ProfiSignal 20 software is not included with your Loggito device and must be purchased separately.
To start ProfiSignal 20 Go or Basic, a user must always be created in DataService first. To do this, under the "User administration" tab, add → DataService ID xxxx "User" icon, right-click to add the desired user.
Note: If you use ProfiSignal 20 from the PC / server, the user must be logged in via the DataService. The default password for this user is empty and can be adjusted in ProfiSignal 20 or as described under "Help" → "Software" → "DataService Configurator" → "User management" → "Set up password protection".
Start ProfiSignal 20 by double-clicking on the corresponding icon symbol. The Login window opens.
Enter the IP address or the host name of the ProfiSignal 20 server in the "Server" field. If you have selected a single-user solution, DataService and ProfiSignal 20 server and client are located on one PC. In this case, only "localhost" needs to be entered as the server.
Please enter the user name and the corresponding password that you have set up under "Set up user". Also select your preferred language.
By confirming the login, you will land on the dashboard. The first time you log in, you will be asked to change your password.
In the top left-hand corner, create a new project via "New online analysis". Entering the project name is mandatory, the description is optional. You can also find all connected devices here.
Click on the arrow symbol to open the nested channels below. Select the prepared channel under "Configure channel" and drag & drop or double-click it into the right-hand menu.
Click "Ok" to confirm your entry and access the generated online analysis. You can now make further settings to the trend using the toolbar at the bottom and the channel list on the right.
For ProfiSignal 20 you will find here a separate Quick Start Guide.
