1.3. Instrument Functions
The Models 1821 and 1822 are thermocouple-based thermometers with one and two channels, respectively.
They operate with sensor types K (Chromel/Alumel), J (iron/Constantan), T (copper/Constantan), E
(Chromel/Constantan), N (Nicrosil/Nisil), R (platinum-rhodium/platinum), and S (platinum-rhodium/platinum) and
can measure temperatures from -418 to +3213°F (-250 to +1767°C) depending on sensor.
The Model1823 is a single channel resistive-probe thermometer (RTD100 or RTD1000). It measures
temperatures from -148 to +752°F (-100 to +400°C).
These stand alone instruments can:
 Display temperature measurements in °C or °F
 Record minimum and maximum temperatures in a specified period
 Record and store measurements
 Communicate with a computer via Bluetooth or USB cable
DataView®with the Data Logger Control Panel software can be installed on a computer to allow you to
configure the instruments, view measurements in real time, download data from the instruments, and create
reports.

2. SETUP
Before using your instrument, you must set its date and time. If you plan to use alarms, you must define the
alarm threshold(s). Date/time and alarm settings must be configured through DataView. Other basic setup tasks
include selecting:
 °F or °C for measurement units (can be done on the instrument or via DataView)
 Auto OFF interval (requires DataView)
 (Models 1821 and 1822) Sensor type (can be done on the instrument or via DataView)
2.1. DataView Installation
1. Insert the USB drive that comes with the instrument into a USB port on your computer.
2. If Autorun is enabled, an AutoPlay window appears on your screen. Click “Open folder to view files” to
display the DataView folder. If Autorun is not enabled or allowed, use Windows Explorer to locate and
open the USB drive labeled “DataView.”
3. When the DataView folder is open, find the file Setup.exe and double-click it.
4. The Setup screen appears. This enables you to select the language version of DataView to install.
You can also select additional install options (each option is explained in the Description field). Make
your selections and click Install.
5. The InstallShield Wizard screen appears. This program leads you through the DataView install process.
As you complete these screens, be sure to check Data Loggers when prompted to select features to
install.
6. When the InstallShield Wizard finishes installing DataView, the Setup screen appears. Click Exit to
close. The DataView folder appears on your computer desktop.
2.2. Connecting the Instrument to a Computer
You can connect the instrument to a computer either through USB cable (provided with the instrument) or
Bluetooth®. The first two steps of the connection procedure depend on the connection type:
USB:
1. Connect the instrument to an available USB port using the supplied cable.
2. Turn ON the instrument. If this is the first time this instrument has been connected to this computer,
the drivers will be installed. Wait for driver installation to finish before proceeding with step 3 below.
Bluetooth:
Connecting the instrument via Bluetooth requires a Bluegiga BLED112 Smart Dongle (sold separately) installed
in your computer. When the dongle is installed, do the following:
1. Turn ON the instrument by pressing the button.
2. Activate Bluetooth on the instrument by pressing the button until the symbol appears in the
LCD.
After the USB cable is connected or Bluetooth is activated, proceed as follows:
3. Open the DataView folder on your desktop. This displays a list of icons for the Control Panel(s) installed
with DataView.
4. Open the DataView Data Logger Control Panel by clicking the icon.
5. In the menu bar at the top of the screen, select Help. In the drop-down menu that appears, click the
option Help Topics. This opens the Data Logger Control Panel Help system.
6. Use the Contents window in the Help system to locate and open the topic "Connecting to an
Instrument." This provides instructions explaining how to connect your instrument to the computer.
7. When the instrument is connected, its name appears in the Data Logger Network folder in the left side
of the Control Panel. A green check mark appears next to the name indicating it is currently connected.
