Training video: Setting up temperature loggers using eTemperature
This is the transcript for one of our new training videos. This short video will take you through how to program a temperature logger using the eTemperature software. When eTemperature is running you will see the message “Waiting” at the top. When you plug a Thermochron into the reader you will see this message change […]
Training video: Saving results
This is the transcript for one of our new training videos: This short video will take you through how to save results from a Thermochron temperature logger using the eTemperature software. When eTemperature is running you will see the message “Waiting” at the top. When you plug a Thermochron into the reader you will see […]
eTemperature Configuration – Sample Rate
One of the critical settings when programming a Thermochron logger is the sample rate. The sample rate is how often the unit will record the date/time and temperature. The faster it samples, the faster it will consume its memory. That is why below the sample rate is a display of how long the memory will […]
eTemperature Configuration – Allow rollover
If the logger is not stopped before reaching the end of its memory it will do one of two things: Stop logging Rollover to the start and start recording over the existing data, from the oldest reading first. Putting it another way, it will contain either: The first 2,000 readings, or The most recent 2,000 […]
Temperature Logger Comparison
This temperature logger comparison will cover the similarities and key differences between the Logtag Temperature Logger and Thermochron Temperature Loggers. Selecting the best temperature logger is much like selecting the best car – it all comes down what features you really care about. The similarities Fundamentally the Logtags and Thermochrons are the same. They both […]
Common temperature logger mistakes 2
After common temperature logger mistake 1 of not being turned on, mistake number 2 is reported to us less, but more common… Common temperature logger mistakes: Sampling too slowly There are many users who set their sample rate to one sample every couple of hours. This is typically 4 hours for the Thermocron and even […]
Common temperature logger mistakes 3
After common temperature logger mistake 2 of sampling too quickly, mistake number 3 is the exact opposite. Common temperature logger mistakes: Sampling too quickly There are some users who sample as fast as possible. This is typically once a minute for Thermochron loggers and possibly even faster for Logtags. The likely cause For the sampling too slowly issue, […]
Tools for environmental monitoring
Why use tools for environmental monitoring? Today I had someone ask what tools for environmental monitoring we had. Instead of rattling of a list of equipment I decided to take a step back and consider what needs monitoring and then progress from there. In this particular case it was in regards to trying to decrease […]
Thermochrons over maximum temperature
One question that occasionally comes up is “what happens when the Thermochrons goes over it’s maximum temperature?”. It depends upon the unit but: All models will simply display the maximum temperature for that unit Going up to 100°C tends to be fine Going too high (sorry, no firm rule as to “too high”) will corrupt […]
