specific group will help you later on when you need
to look at data from a set of devices and create a
report. To add a group name to the list:
• Click on the Insert Group button.
• Click inside the blank space in the list.
• Type the name of your new group. You can create
as many groups as you like.
When finished making groups...

GL100 Manager “Quick Steps” window is displayed.
Using Quick Steps
From the “Quick Steps” window you can easily
perform these functions: Tag setup, data download,
and examine the GL100 logger. If there is not a
GL100 in the reader, or if the reader is not
connected to the proper COM port, the GL100
Status will display “GL100 Not Detected”. Examine
all connections and check the COM port assignment
to verify that the setup is correct. When the GL100
Manager program detects a GL100 device, the
GL100 status will show “Found GL100”.

Prepare GL100 to Record
Place a label in the space provided on the GL100 which contains identifying information such as
location used or barcode. (Use Avery label #5267 or similar .5" x 1.75" label.)

• Click on the Prepare GL100 to Record button. The “Edit GL100 Settings” window will open.
Edit GL100 Settings
Mission Description: Type a
meaningful phrase or a name in the
Mission Description area.
Scheduling: “Begin recording at...”
indicates the time and date when this
logger will begin recording. If you want
to delay the start of the data logger,
use the Start delay boxes to set the
delay. As you change the delay time,
notice the start date and time above
will reflect the new setting.
Set the value in the Minutes between
samples box. This number can be
from 1 to 255. Notice as you change
this number, the date and time when
the “wrap” or “stop recording” event will
occur changes to reflect your settings.
When the data logger memory is full
Stop Recording and wait for you to download the data, or it will Wrap Around, and start
overwriting the oldest records in memory depending on the setting under When Memory Full.
• Select Wrap Around if you are only interested in the latest data at any moment.
• Select Stop Recording if you need to have a record of a certain time period.
(See “Tips on Using the GL100 Logger” section.)
Temperature Alarm Limits: You can set high and low limit temperatures for the GL100.
• If you check the Activate high alarm box, a small window will appear for you to set the
temperature for the high limit. Later on, when you download the data logger to your computer,
the temperature history will be shown on a graph. The high alarm you set will appear on the
graph as a red line. Any temperatures on the graph that are above the red line have exceeded
your high alarm point.
• If you check the Activate low alarm box, a small window will appear for you to set the
temperature for the low limit. Later on, when you download the data logger to your computer,
the temperature history will be shown on a graph. The low alarm you set will appear on the
graph as a blue line. Any temperatures on the graph that are below the blue line have
exceeded your low alarm point.
Group: If you want to assign the GL100 to one of your groups...
Select the group name in the Group pulldown box. (Groups are established during the inital setup
phase. See “The Group Setup Window” section.)
• Click on the small black triangle near the right side of the pulldown box and the group list will
be shown. If there are many groups in the list, you may need to use the scroll bar to see some
of them.
• Find the group you want and click on it. The group list will close and the group you selected will
be showing in the pulldown window. If you change your mind and don’t want to have the
GL100 be a member of a group, then click on the No Group button and the pulldown box will
be blank.
