When used with a computer, the GLX requires DataStudio version 1.9.5 or later. 2
Before connecting the GLX to your computer, install the version of DataStudio
that you received on a CD-ROM with your GLX or download the most recent
version from www.pasco.com.
Connecting the GLX to a Computer
With the GLX powered on, use the USB host-connection cable (included with
the GLX) to connect the smaller USB port of the GLX to the USB port of your
computer.
Launching DataStudio
• If there is a new file saved on the GLX 3 , your computer will automatically
launch DataStudio when the GLX is connected.
• If there are sensors connected to the GLX, but no new files, the PASPortal
window will open when the GLX is connected to the computer. In the
PASPortal window, click Launch DataStudio.
• If the PASPortal window or DataStudio does not automatically launch, start
DataStudio via the icon on your computer’s desktop. When you see the
“Welcome to DataStudio” window, click Create Experiment.
