You can also select a checkbox if you would like to save the selection and do not show the window again (you can also set these preferences in general settings).
Some logger types support additional fields and if you would like to set values for these fields then using automatic hardware detection would be required. When enabled, an additional wizard will appear with these fields.
You can enable or disable automatic hardware detection in general settings under the field “Show logger version scan window before start programming”.
Remember, if you are using this option, you must put the same types of loggers on the reader. If you would like to use different types of loggers, please start a new recording.
A window will open allowing you to choose and modify the recording settings.
You can apply the settings from previously saved settings (“Available settings”). If you select “Last Data”, the settings from the last new recording will be applied.
You can also save you settings for later use, by clicking the “Save settings” button.

Now, click on the “Start recording” button. Click the “Yes” button to start the recording.
A window will open inviting you to place the first logger on the reader. Follow the instructions and wait a few seconds. You can start a recording for as many loggers in a row as you wish.
After a successful start of a recording you should be able to see the message “Success – Change logger”.
Once you are finished, just close the window.
If you see the message “Error – Change logger”, there could be few possible causes:
Removing the logger from the NFC reader too quickly (during the “Data transmission in progress” step)
Starting a recording for single-use loggers that already have/had a recording
If you see the message “You must use the same type of recorder as the one detected during automatic detection”, that means that the logger type you have inserted during the detection period is different from the logger type that is currently on the NFC reader.
In order to end the current recording, select “Logger” and “End current recording” from the top menu.
Then place the logger on the NFC reader. You should see a message “Success – change logger”.
