6. When complete, click Setup and Run.
7. Ensure that the destination computer, where the MicroLite will be connected
to download the data, has DataSuite installed with an Internet connection. Go
to Tools > Options > Email Settings and use the Test Email function in the
Email Profile Manager to verify the Email settings are working correctly.
MicroLite Working Modes
STOP: MicroLite is idle and not recording. When stopping, the logger
immediately ceases to record data, displaying STOP on the LCD.
To stop the logger directly from the unit, select the Turn off on key press option
in the logger Setup window in DataSuite. While the logger is running, place the
magnet key in the magnet holder for at least 15 seconds. The logger will then
stop sampling.
RUN: MicroLite is recording data. It will stop recording automatically when its
memory has reached full capacity (8,000, or 32,000 samples depending on the
model). When full the LCD displays FULL.
Note: For External input models only, the logger will only start running when
the cap is closed, to avoid data sampling before the external sensor is
connected
CYCLIC RUN: Similar to Run mode, but MicroLite will continuously sample data,
recording over old data when the memory reaches its capacity, beginning with
the earliest data recording. Cyclic Run mode must be selected from the logger
Setup window in DataSuite.
TIMER RUN: MicroLite can be configured to start recording at a predetermined
time. When MicroLite is set to Timer Run, the logger LCD displays tRUN.
PUSH TO RUN: MicroLite will only begin logging data when the user operates
the logger’s reed switch with the MicroLite magnet key. The logger LCD displays
PUSH following software configuration.
MARKING TIME STAMP: While the logger is running, placing the magnet key in
the magnet holder for at least 2 seconds records a new sample and time stamp
to the logger memory. Useful for marking specific events.

Using the Boomerang Feature
MicroLite units configured with Boomerang are able to automatically email a PDF
data report, via email to predefined contacts when connected to a computer. The
report contains all recorded data in graph format, alarm levels, logger profile and
other statistics. This feature is especially useful in the cold chain shipment industry.
The destination computer requires DataSuite and an Internet connection. A default
fourtec email profile is already defined within DataSuite.
To enable Boomerang:
1. Right-click on the MicroLite icon and select Setup.
2. Configure the logger using the Properties and Sensor tabs, and then click on
the Boomerang Report tab. Select the Include Boomerang Report checkbox to
enable this feature on the connected logger.
3. Select the relevant temperature unit, Cor F.
4. Enter the Generated by and Comment fields.
5. To add the Boomerang report recipients, click Add Contacts and select from the
contact list or click to manually add an email address
