If your MLog IM100 has an optional GSM module,
insert a SIM card so that you can send MLog mes-
sages by SMS text message (see Section 2 .2) .
Enter the SIM card PIN in the MLog to activate the
SIM card and consequently the SMS messaging
function . The PIN must have a length of 4 cha-
racters

cable and launch the MLog Analyser software on
the PC .
Alternatively, you can also establish the connec-
tion to an MLog IM100 via the optional Bluetooth
module. To do this, first establish a connection
between the PC and the MLog via the Bluetooth
function of the PC's operating system (code
"1234") . The connection is then established as
described below .
(4) Establish a connection to the MLog via the
program function "Establish Connection to MLog" .
The serial number of the device to which you can
connect will be displayed . Select the COM port
with the connected MLog .

set whether the MLog should record data in a
specified time interval and/or when limit values are
exceeded .

Configure the recording of GPS data (only if your
MLog is equipped with an optional GPS module) .
A SMS text message with position data is also
sent for each GPS query .
NOTE
Keep in mind that frequent GPS position queries
and frequent SMS text message sending shorten
the battery life time .

measured data .

tion" and configure the settings for acceleration.
The limit values you should set for the accelera-
tion (identification of impacts) will depend on the
transport goods to be monitored and its load limits .
