Logshell Downloads Overview Read the following or click Download Logshell. Mount Sopris Instruments is making available for download, by all customers with a valid license, versions of the obsolete program LOGSHELL which is the MGX and MGX II acquisition software for DOS version 5 or later. Version 2.23 also runs in protected mode DOS under Windows 95/98. Logshell acquisition has been replaced by the windows program MSLog. Logshell post acquisition plotting has been replaced by the windows program Wellcad. Logshell is DOS software and as such has problems running on machines faster that about 150mhz.

Logshell is available for download to all customers with a valid license. There are three versions for download, v2.20 for the MGX, v2.20 for the MGX II and v2.23 for the MGX and MGX II. Logshell acquisition software will not operate any MGX II which uses MSLog. Trying to run an MSLog-MGX II with Logshell may scramble operational constants making the MGX II inoperable. Logshell version 2.23Logshell version 2.23 takes full advantage of installed RAM above the old 640K DOS limitation. Earlier versions of Logshell required up to 600K of free RAM in the lower memory, which caused difficulties for some users who were operating PCs with modems, network adapters and other non-standard hardware devices. LOGSHELL version 2.23 can be operated in Win95/98 protected mode, enabling program swapping during log processing. It is strongly recommended that no swapping take place during log data acquisition, to protect data integrity. The METASHEL graphics driver has been updated and combined into the executable program files and is now transparent to the user. Logshell version 2.23 allows the user to install logging software for both the MGX and MGX II loggers at the same time, in one installation. This allows the user who operate both the MGX and MGX II systems to easily switch between loggers with minimal effort. Probe drivers are included in the installation. System requirementsLogshell v2.23 requires at a minimum a 386 CPU, with 2 Mb Ram (8Mb required for Win95), at least 8Mb free hard drive space, a 3.5" floppy drive, and a VGA graphics adapter and display. A standard parallel port is required to plot log data, and Logshell must have a standard serial port operating and 9600 baud to communicate with the logger. Logshell automatically configures the serial port speed, and version 2.21 and later, allows the user to select the serial port number (com1, com2, etc). Logshell v 2.21 can operate with DOS v5.0 or greater, and Windows95/98 (in protected mode DOS). Note: Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows NT, Windows 2000, do not have protected mode DOS. What does my MGX II need to be compatible with this software? The firmware, that is the programs in the microprocessors, in the MGX II must be the correct version to operate with Logshell version 2.23. The firmware version is affected by the crystal frequency of the Master processor. The crystal is a half-inch long, narrow metal can with numbers, indicating its operating frequency, written on top. The crystal is next to U1 on the main board of the MGX II. Just to the left of the crystal is the label X1. For systems with a master crystal frequency of 24 MHZ:
For systems with a master crystal frequency of 22.1184 MHz:
