DATA LOGGER FUNCTION
The data logger provides ways to externally indicate or log all the incubator front panel displays at intervals
ranging from 1 to 99 minutes. The logger contains a real time clock/calendar to date and time stamp each
logged reading.
The logger indicates and logs all front panel display readings in single lines of text. This data is logged when
the present logging interval has expired or one of the monitored displays has changed its alarm state. Logged
data has a time and date field that corresponds with the logger
’s real time clock.
This logged data can be externally accessed through ports provided on the front of the incubator for serial and
parallel functions, as well as a BNC contact closure plug for extended alarm condition(s). The parallel port is
compatible with any Epson or IBM style printer. The serial port operates at 9600 baud with 8 data bits, 1 (one)
stop bit and no parity and connects with a computer through the USB.

The parameter that can be changed will blink and its value can be changed by pushing the UP or
DOWN arrow pads.

Pressing and holding the MODE pad for approximately one second will cause the logger to step to the
