Quickstart:

Here is how to quickly see the Datalogger working using only a microphone:

1 - download Emergence Basic from [http://www.ionicwind.com/] and install it;

2 - create a directory named "Datalogger" and extract the contents of the distribution zip file to it;

3 - open the Emergence Basic IDE and click on Tools|Create Import Library. Choose the PORT.DLL that is in the Datalogger directory;

4 - now, in the Emergence Basic IDE, click on File|Open and choose the Datalogger.eba file in the Datalogger directory you created;

5 - compile the source code (icon or Build|Compile and execute) choosing Windows as target. Make sure the PORT.DLL file is in the same directory as the executable file. If you didn't uncheck the correspondent checkbox, the datalogger should start running right after the compilation is done;

6 - connect the microphone;

7 - make sure the volume of your speakers is low, because the program generates a high volume tone;

8 - click on the "Start" button;

9 - talk on the microphone.

For plenty more details, click on the Dataloggers "Help" buttom.
