TAG numbers
TAG names You can enter designations for the measurement points (TAG names) with up to 11 characters. The instrument itself will automatically assign a sequential
TAG number to each name.
(TDA-300: max. 5 names; TDA-3000: max. 99 names)
User names With the TDA-3000, you can enter 99 user names with up to 11 characters.
The instrument itself will automatically assign a sequential number to each
name.
The TDA-300 does not have a user management – there is only one user.
Limit function With this function, you can immediately detect whether the measured
temperature is above, below, or within the limits (the upper and lower limits
must be set up).
Data logger Measurement point designation (TAG name), measured temperature, date and
user name can be entered manually, or automatically detected and saved.
(TDA-300: max. 99 measurements, TDA-3000: max. 9999 measurements)
MIN and MAX
memory The minimum and maximum temperatures (Peak and Bottom) can be saved in the instrument.
Service life The handheld thermometer can acquire data continuously for up to 400 hours
– using an alkaline LR6 battery (based on IEC and JIS).
PC evaluation With the TDA-3000, data can be checked and evaluated by a PC.
Measurement data can be copied to a PC via the USB interface, in CSV format
(Comma Separated Values). This data can then be processed by the PC.

1.5.1 LCD display
The following details are shown in the LCD display.
(1)
Number While data is being recorded, or during standby for data recording, the number of the measurement point or the user is shown here.
If stored data are displayed, the memory number for the measurement being
displayed appears in front of the “/” symbol and the total quantity of stored
data appears after the “/”.
(2)
Data logging During manual data logging (manual recording) the REC display will only light up when the REC key is pressed. During automatic data logging (automatic
recording) the REC display will light up continuously during recording, and will
blink during an interruption.
(3)
