When this function is enabled, the device will report an alarm
packet when the absolute value of the difference between the
two collected values exceeds the set threshold.
3.5.3 Data Storage
TS30x sensor supports storing more than 10,000 data records locally and exporting data via
ToolBox. The device will record the data according to the reporting interval even not joining to
network.

16
Export as csv file
Click Export, then select the data period and click Confirm to export data. The maximum export
data period on ToolBox App is 14 days.
Export as PDF file
TS30x sensor supports data plug-and-play by USB port, which exports encrypted &
anti-tampering PDF data.
1. USB data export without driver installation. After plugging into the USB interface, the PC will
display a disk folder from device to display the stored data which is automatically exported as
an encrypted document in PDF format (to prevent tampering - FDA CFR 21B regulatory
requirements)
Note: The PDF file only stores temperature data, not door sensor switch data.
2. Copy the PDF file to your PC's another disk folder to get the data.

17
Note:
1) The PDF file is not allowed to be edited to prevent tampering.
2) When the device is configured by the ToolBox software on the PC, the disk folder from
device will disappear. You can export PDF files again by unplugging and reinserting the USB
port.
3) The disk folder from device is only used to export PDF file and is not allowed to put other
files.
3.5.4 Data Retransmission
TS30x sensor supports data retransmission to ensure the network server can get all data even if
the network is down for some time. There are two ways to get the lost data:
Network server sends downlink commands to enquire the historical data for specifying time
range, refer to section Historical Data Enquiry.
When the network is down if no response from LinkCheckReq MAC packets for a period of
time, the device will record the network disconnected time and re-transmit the lost data
after the device re-connects the network.
Here are the steps for retransmission:
1. Ensure the device time is correct, please refer Time Synchronization to sync the time.
2. Enable Data Storage and Data Retransmission feature.
Go to Device > Setting > LoRaWAN Settings to enable rejoin mode and set the number of
packets sent. For example, the device will send LinkCheckReq MAC packets to the network
server regularly to check any network disconnection; if there is no response for 32+1 times, the
join status will change to de-active and the device will record a data lost time point (the time it
reconnected to the network).
3. After the network connection is restored, the device will send the lost data from the point in

18
time when the data was lost according to the data retransmission interval (600s by default).
Note:
1) If the device is rebooted or re-powered when data retransmission is not completed, the
interrupted retransmission data will be retransmitted first after the network is reconnected to the
network, and then the newly triggered retransmission data will be transmitted.
2) If the network is disconnected again during data retransmission, it will only send the latest
disconnection data.
3) The retransmission data format is started with “20ce”, please refer to section Historical Data
Enquiry.
4) Data retransmission will increase the uplinks and shorten the battery life.
