To transfer collected log data to a PC for analysis, connect the 

data logger to an unused serial port of your IBM-compatible PC 

with the supplied serial communication cable.

Start the MOUSE-E-MOTION software or start MS Excel and load 

the MOUSE-E-MOTION add-in (refer to the MOUSE-E-MOTION 

software documentation on how to install and use the software). 

Click  the  ‚AutoDownload‘  button  to  automatically  download  log 

data with the predefined default parameters or click the ‚Down-

load...‘ button if you want to customize the log data download.

After a successfull log data download you can delete the log data 

stored  in  the  data  memory  of  the  data  logger,  if  required  (see 

5.5).
