tape included in the package with the mount
•When placing the logger into mount, the probe should not be attached. Once the logger is in
place you can plug in the probe.

Install Software
You must be logged in with full administrator rights to properly install the software. This may
mean that your IT department may need to install the software for you. You can find the
LogTag Analyzer Software on the software downloads page of our website:
www.MicroDAQ.com/software
•Click on the link to download LogTag Analyzer 3
•Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
•The user manual for the software can be found by clicking on the Help menu in the software
and selecting “user guide”
Install Docking Station
The LogTag loggers require a USB docking station to connect to your computer for configuration
as well as saving data. This docking station is a universal device and compatible with many
LogTag models. This device is sold separately and does not come with the kit.
•Once software is installed plug the docking station (LTI-HID) into your PC by inserting the USB
plug into an available USB port
•Locate the LogTag Analyzer (LTA) icon on your desktop and double click it to launch the
software

Configuring the Logger
The loggers will need to be configured for Fridge or Freezer use using the recommended
settings for your state. Please contact your VFC/DOH representative or office for the
specific configuration settings for your state.
The settings shown in the following slides are for example only –the settings for your
state may vary.
•Open LogTag Analyzer Software (If not already
open)
•Place the Logger into docking station –Push
down until you hear logger click into place.
The software will recognize the device and tell
you “A new log tag has been detected. Please
wait while the information is downloaded”
•If this is your first time inserting the logger, a
notification box will pop up telling you that
there is no data on the device. Click “OK” to
proceed, this message will time out and
disappear after 5 seconds by default.
•Launch the Configuration Wizard by clicking
on the Wizard icon. The software will then
scan for available loggers
•Once the logger is found you should see two
green checkmarks in the top left corner. Click
on the “Configure” button to continue to the
configuration options

Configuring the Logger
•Description: Give each logger a unique name for easy identification
•We do not recommend selecting the password options, leave the check boxes blank
•Make sure “Push button start” appears below Logging Parameters
•“Record readings so that” should be selected
•The number of days the device will record for is based on the maximum storage capacity of
the device and the recording rate. The faster you record, the faster it will fill up. Once it is full it
will stop recording.
•Set “Record a reading every” to your desired sample rate
•Optional - Set “Begin recording after a delay of” to desired minutes
oThis feature creates a delay from the time you start the logger to the time it starts
recording. This will allow you time to plug in the sensor cable before the logger starts
recording data. Please check with your local VFC/DOH Office to see if this feature is
approved for your state.
