Using the LTI-HID USB Interface
The LTI-HID USB Interface provides the same functionality as the current LTI/USB interface, with the addition of the green and red LEDs at the top, which identify what action the interface is currently performing. This is particularly useful if you use multiple interfaces to configure more than one logger at a time.
When you start one of the LogTag® software packages, such as LogTag® Analyzer, LogTag® Connect or LogTag® Xpress, the green LED will turn on to indicate the interface has established connection with the software and is ready for a logger to be inserted.
As soon as you insert a logger the automatic download starts, the green LED will turn off and the red LED will turn on. This indicates the software is communicating with the logger, in this case downloading data.
If the communication was successful, the green LED blinks. You can now continue with additional tasks, such as configuring the logger or hibernating it.
When the logger is being configured, either automatically or based on your settings, the red LED also turns on. Once the configuration parameters have been successfully uploaded to the logger, the green LED blinks.
If there was an error during communication, and the data could not be downloaded or uploaded, the red LED blinks. The most common causes for this are a low battery, dirty contacts on the logger or trying to configure a single use logger for a second trip. You will also see the red LED blinking if you don't provide a password where required or cancelling a operation mid way.
