TEMPERATURE LOGGER – INSTRUCTIONS V 1.1x C

1

INTRODUCTION

TagTemp is a small portable electronic temperature logger. Its

internal sensor measures local environment temperature and logs

such values in an electronic memory. Logged data, or

ACQUISITIONS, can be later viewed and analyzed on a PC where

they can be opened in tabular and graph forms.
The logger is supplied with LogChart-II software, which enables to set

up the logger operation mode. It is also used for viewing acquisitions.

Other parameters such as end of measurements, logging interval, etc.,

are easily defined through the LogChart-II software.
Acquisitions can also be exported to be analyzed in other

applications, such as spreadsheet programs.

OPERATION

It is only possible to operate the logger after the LogChart-II software

is installed to a PC, according to the steps described in LogChart-II

Software section of this manual. The communication between logger

and PC is performed with the aid of the IR-Link wand.
The logger must be “waken up” before communication is attempted.

To do so, press the Start/Stop button.

The logger starts flashing the Status Indicator according to his

current status:

One flash at every four seconds (stand-by) indicates the

logger is waiting to start measuring or that a series of

measures was concluded and the logger is waiting for a new

command.

Two flashes, measures ongoing.

The logger operation mode set up is defined in advance by using the

LogChart-II software. Each setting must be defined and the

consequences observed.
The logger starts and stops logging as defined in settings.
