ZeroTrace USBLogger

Installation

Connect the USBLogger between a keyboard and a computer.

Before you begin

Only use the USBLogger on a keyboard and computer you own or are authorized in writing to test. See Safety & legal.

  1. Identify the two ports

    The USBLogger has a USB-A plug (goes into the computer) and a USB-A socket (the keyboard plugs in). They are physically different so they cannot be mixed up.

  2. Plug the device into the computer

    Insert the USBLogger's plug into a free USB-A port on the host computer. The status light indicates power.

  3. Plug the keyboard into the device

    Connect the USB keyboard to the USBLogger's socket. The keyboard should work normally on the computer.

  4. Confirm it is running

    Type a few keys on the keyboard, then open the live view to confirm they appear.

First-time setup

If this is a brand-new unit, activate your license and (if your keyboard uses an unusual layout) run calibration before relying on the recorded text. See First run.
