-
GPS-lndicator LED
-
flashing red: None or not enough satellites found
flashing yellow: Found enough satellites to get GPS information -
flashing green (faster): Found more satellites for higher precision in GPS information
-
-
Charge LED
The battery is charged via the USB port.- off: Logger is not connected to a computer or power supply
- indicates the charging state of the battery. Red: battery is charging, Green: battery is fully charged
-
Power LED
-
off: Power is off
green: Power is on -
flashing green/red (slow): If Logger is on or off and power is turned on, the LED indicates missing micro SO card
-
flashing green/red (faster): If Logger is on and power is on and µSD-Card is insert into µSD-Card slot the LED indicates the calibration mode. The flashing frequency corresponds to the selcted data rate

Power Switch
Turn device an or off -
Mini USB Port
Connect the device via USB cable with your PC to use the device in streaming mode with our software and to load the batterie -
Record / Calibration switch
The logger switch has two functions. If you turn it an before you power on the device, you · II enable the calibration mode for the internal sensors. The Power LED flashes rapidly If you turn it on when the devices is already powered on, you ‘II activate the recording mode. The GPS-Sensor data will be written to the µSD-Card until you turn the logger off -
µSD-Card Slot
Insert the µSD-Card into the slot. Please note that the device won ‘t work without a µSD-Card. Press the µSD-Card until you hear the „dick”. Also press the µSD-Card until you hear the „dick” to enject it.
ATTENTION: Operation only without USB connection – no continuous operation!
Disposal Notes
Do not discard Li Po packs in the domestic waste. Return defective or
exhausted batteries to any retail outlet for batteries, or to your local
authority’s toxic waste collection point. Discharge batteries before disposing
of them. Mask off bare contacts to ensure that there is no possibility of
short-circuits.
Device calibration
Ta calibrate the sensors of your GPS-Logger device, move the logger switch to
position „ON” and turn the device by moving the power switch to position „ON”.
The power LED flashes fast and indicates that the calibration mode is enabled
Move the device like shown in the picture below for 30 seconds:
To complete the calibration, move the logger switch back to position „OFF”
Copy data from GPS -Logger Micro SD-Card
Turn off your GPS-Logger and remove the µSD-Card from the µSD-Slot. Put the µSD-Card into a usable adapter (SD-Card or USB adapter included in delievery) and connect it with your PC. Copy the recorded file in a folder an your hard disk (import directly from µSD card works too, but is faster if imported from harddisk). Now you can import the file in the software
A. Software Installation
Double click the executable and follow the instructions of the installer. The
Installer contains the software and the driver installation.
B. New Versions / Updates
We publish the newest version of the software on our developer website
(http://www.spectran-developer.net) in the main category “Application
Software” – > “Windows”
C. Software modes
The Software can work in two different modes. The first mode is called
“Streaming Mode” and the second mode Is called ‘Data Mode”
-
Streaming Mode:
In streaming mode you’ll work with the GPS – Logger connected to a USB port to the PC. The data is sent directly to the software via USB. You can see all movements and changes of the Logger in the “Streaming Dialog”. You have the possibility to record the streaming data by using the Toolbar functions. The Streaming mode also allows you to start a replay of a recorded raw data file. To start a replay, use the entry in “File” menu -> “Open Recording as Stream” -
Data Mode:
Data mode is the visualization of data which are loaded from files. Use the entry in the “File” menu -> “Open Recording for Map View”. You can import two types of files 1. Raw data file – copied from the pSD-Card of your GPS Logger device. 2. MDR file – Recording from our MCS Spectrum Analyzer software.
Differences between the file types: -
The raw data file from the GPS Logger contains all GPS and sensor information. You can visualize the waypoints, compass, tilt, roll, and speed on the map. The diagram will show the elevation.
-
MDR file contains the GPS information and measurement information on the track. The diagram will show a maximum measurement value on a waypoint. To create the MDR file, you have to connect a SPECTRAN and GPS Logger device to our MCS software. Record the measurement in the MDR format
