1.2.8

Starting the data logger application

Install the event/data logging GUI using the GUI exe. There are two GUI installation set-ups;

one for the STARTKIT-M24LR-A RFID reader and another for the CR95HF demo board.

Install the GUI according to the e-reader available.

The data logger system has 3 stages:

1.

Pre-data logger stage

2.

Data logging stage

3.

Post data logging stage

1.2.9

Pre-data logger stage

This stage is for enabling all the sensors for logging the data. In this stage the board power

comes from the RFID reader and no external cell is needed.

Below are the steps for the pre-data logger stage configuration:

1.

Connect the RFID reader (CR95HF demo board/STARTKIT-M24LR-A reader) to the

computer.

2.

Put the switch SW4 into the downward position, as shown in Figure 11.

3.

Place the data logger board (STEVAL-IPR002V1) on the reader, as shown in

Figure 12.

4.

Open the event/data logger GUI application.

5.

Press the “Connect” button on the GUI, as shown in Figure 6. An information message

for board connection is seen on the GUI as shown in Figure 13. If the message shows

“Board is not connected” then again place the data logger board properly near the

RFID reader and press the “Connect” button.

6.

Click on the “Data Logger Selection” button as shown in Figure 6. The GUI window for

data logger opens as shown in Figure 7.

7.

The time for starting the logger can be changed using the dropdown in the “Time”

section. This time is used to configure the RTC of the STM8L which is used for time

stamping of logged data.

8.

Press the “Start the Datalogger” button to configure the board for data logging.

9.

If the GUI shows the error message “Board is not connected”, close the GUI and open

it again and start with step 3 above.

10. If the board is configured for data logging then the “Data Recorded” message is

displayed on the GUI. Click on “OK”.
