Introduction TREL30-16 User Guide 6
Introduction
The LogTag® TREL30-16 low temperature logger features a data logging memory storing
up to 15,905 temperature readings and a separate statistical memory, storing maximum
and minimum reading as well as alarm duration for each of the last 30 days.
During recording the display shows the temperature of the most recent reading, whether
or not this is within or outside the acceptance range, an alarm trigger summary of the last
30 days (today and 29 days previous), the current time and battery status.
Alarm events can be triggered when a number of readings are outside preset Alarm
thresholds and a “day alarm indicator” appears on the display.
Logged temperature data can be downloaded via a standard LogTag® Interface to the free
companion software LogTag® Analyzer, where you can display data in chart, list or
summary formats. The software also allows electronic archiving and exporting or
transmitting data in support of sophisticated data management systems, including
LogTag®Online.
