Installing Logger Pro on your Home Computer

As a Grant High School student, you have access rights to our site license for Logger Pro. When you graduate, you should uninstall this program.


To download it to your home computer requires several steps:


1. Go to the PPS Virtual Office Webpage, which allows you to access your student X drive remotely.
https://files.pps.k12.or.us/vo/servlet/portal?render=on

Use your PPS log in: initials and student ID.
(This link is also on the Grant Web Page, a handy feature for transferring files to school.)


2. Download the Logger Pro installer.

To get to the installer first choose the NETSTORAGE icon on the right. Then Choose DriveX@Dept, followed by Student Files, and finally Logger Pro 3. It's a big file. You might not want to try this if you're still using dial-up.


3. "Unzip" the installer. The file is large and compressed. Your computer may do this automatically, or you may need to download a program to do this. Here is a link to a free utility to do this. http://www.7-zip.org/

Once the folder is open, you want the SETUP application - not the setup bitmap, or document, etc.



Good Luck with this let me know if it doesn't work.
