Introduction
LogTag’s USRID-16W models are pre-configured, single use USB PDF temperature
indicators with a data logging function. They feature a display, which allows select
statistical data to be reviewed directly on the unit without the need for a PC. Trip reports
can be generated without the need to install proprietary software or hardware at the
destination.
Each model is pre-configured to the requirements of the WHO PQS Shipping Indicator
specification (while still allowing limited configuration using LogTag® Analyzer) ready to
be started and placed with the goods to be monitored . At the destination the USRID-
16W can be plugged straight into a computer’s USB port and generates a PDF file, which
can be accessed using PDF software such as Acrobat Reader. For further analysis, data
can be downloaded using the free companion software LogTag® Analyzer, where you can
display data in chart, list or summary formats.
