4. Quick Start Guide

Now you have the software and drivers installed on your computer, you can start to use the iMiniPlus. This chapter will briefly cover the steps involved to get your iMiniPlus ready to use, how to get it started and then retrieve the recorded information. The subsequent chapters will explain in more depth these steps and the various options available to you.

Page 16

Connecting the serial or USB cable to PC

The connectors for the serial (RS232) communications ports typically look like the following picture.

Serial (RS232) communication ports can be typically found at the rear of the computer. Most serial connectors will have screws included on the plug and we recommend that these are tightened when the connector is plugged in so that it does not accidentally pull out during use.

Some of the more common USB connectors are pictured below.

Connectors for USB devices and the sockets on the computer where USB devices are plugged in will often display a USB logo nearby to help them be identified. The sockets for the USB communication ports are typically located at the rear of the computer. In some computers there may also be two or more USB communication ports located on a front panel of the computer and/or on the top of the computer case. Please ensure that the driver software has been installed prior to connecting the USB cable. If the computer is using the Windows NT® operating system, a USB cable will not be able to be used, as Windows NT® does not support USB devices.

Important notes:

 Ensure to select manual the COM port before download and program the unit  If using USB to serial adaptor the COM port # will be COM3 or higher  If using Serial to serial interface the COM port # will be either COM1 or COM2

Connecting the serial or USB cable to the iMiniPlus

The iMiniPlus has a serial DB9 connection on the rear. Connect either the serial cable or USB cable DB9 male connector to this. Make sure that the connector is pushed in, making the connection tight and not loose.

5. Preparing iMiniPlus for use

Before you can start using an iMiniPlus to log the environment you must first prepare it for use. The process of preparing an iMiniPlus for use allows you to define a number of parameters, including:  How long it should log the environmental condition for, so that you can be assured that it will record for

the duration of time required? For example, if you want it to record the temperatures of a shipment that will take 25 days to deliver, you will be able to make sure it will record the temperatures throughout the entire 25-day period.

 How often it should log the environmental conditions?  Under what conditions it should display an alarm? An alarm indicates when the environment being

logged is not within programmed limits.

 This section explains how to prepare an iMiniPlus for use and what the options mean.

Getting an iMiniPlus ready for logging

Make sure the USB or serial cable is connected to your PC and to the iMiniPlus.

After you have opened the ConsolePro Software (

Software

iMiniPlus from the list of products. If these are not selected the iMiniPlus will fail to communicate with the software. You can only select one COM port at a time and if the iMiniPlus fails to communicate with the software, select another. Please note that you must connect the USB cable before you open ConsolePro software. If you open the software first, then connect the cable, the software will fail to recognize it and the COM port will be omitted from the list. There are two ways to prepare an iMiniPlus for use, both of which will achieve the same result.

see section Opening

Click the "Program and Configure..." item located under the Action menu.

Once an iMiniPlus has been through the Program and Configuration process to get it ready for next use, any readings previously recorded will no longer be available for retrieval

Page 26

Password Requirements

The iMiniPlus supports password option that, when enabled, results in users being required to provide the correct password to gain further access to the iMiniPlus. When the password option is enabled, a window similar to the following picture will be displayed allowing the user to enter the correct password.

The Program and Configure process will only continue successfully if the correct password is supplied by the user. Passwords are digits only, up to 4 characters. You can enter a password to safeguard your logger from unauthorized tampering. Make sure that you keep a note of your password and logger serial number in a safe place. If you lose or forget the security code, the logger will have to be returned to your nearest distributor or Data Logging Systems to restore default password.

Program and Configuration Wizard

During the progress of the Program and Configuration Wizard, you will see a series of 5 buttons at the bottom of the wizard box.

The “Cancel” button immediately stops and closes the wizard. To start again you will have to select the Program icon. The “Restart” button enables you to start the Wizard progress from the beginning without closing the feature. “Back” enables you to go back one step in the step-by- step progress and Next takes you to the next step. The Help button will provide description and instruction about the step you are in. Please note that this feature may make reference to other products from time to time. Additionally some Help documentation may not be present due to the software version you are currently using. Consult this iMiniPlus manual if you are not sure about any description.

Search Tab – displays the description of the recorded environment, iMiniPlus serial number, the iMiniPlus product code and the communication port the iMiniPlus is connected to.

If a small green arrow is present, this signifies that the iMiniPlus is still logging.

By double clicking on this description line, the iMiniPlus Properties box can be displayed.

The properties box displays, serial number, description, product code, battery status, no. of readings taken, active sensors and a summary of the logging parameters.

If the description box is unticked, it means the password to protect program settings in the logger has been set. You will have to click on the box and enter the password.

If there is a X in the description box, only the Search tab will be displayed and the Program and Configure Wizard cannot proceed any further. This may indicate a fault with either the software or iMiniPlus itself (for example, low battery or lease of the current logger has expired).

Specification and Alarm

Raise alarm on below lower spec readings – tick this box if you want to activate the low alarm and select the value in the box immediately to the right. Note if the lower spec value is 0C, then the alarm can be triggered at -0.1C, not 0.0C as this value is considered within specification. Raise alarm on above upper spec readings – tick this box if you want to activate the high alarm and select the value in the box immediately to the right. Note if the upper spec value is 50C, then the alarm can be triggered at 50.1C, not 50.0C as this value is considered within specification. Increment - the grouping size used for listing out-of-specification readings.

Alarm Type

This feature allows the user to specify the condition that will trigger an alarm.

Standard Alarm

Number of consecutive out of specification readings – the alarm is triggered if the readings are

consecutively over or under the specified threshold. For instance, if the upper spec is 50C and the value for the number of consecutive out-of-spec readings is 3 and the logging interval is 10minutes, the readings will need to be in excess of 50C for 30 minutes before the alarm is triggered. If the readings fluctuate outside upper and lower threshold temperatures, the same rule applies (providing the appropriate “raise alarm” box is ticked). Once reading(s) return inside alarm limits, the consecutive alarm is reset.

Total number of out of specification readings (cumulative) – the alarm is triggered if the total number of out of spec readings equals the entered value. In this case the alarm is NOT reset if readings return to within the specified parameters, and each out-of-spec reading is added to the previous one until the number equals the entered value. Do not set the Total number of out-of-spec readings value to be less than the Consecutive out-of-spec readings as this will mean that the Consecutive out-of-spec readings alarm will never be triggered.

Degree-Minutes Alarm (Integrator Alarm)

The Degree-Minutes Alarm is a special feature that “integrates” temperature and time parameters into one value.

Total number of degree-minutes below specs exceeds - the alarm is triggered when the total number of temperature degrees below the low alarm spec is greater than the value entered.

Total number of degree-minutes above specs exceeds - the alarm is triggered when the total number of temperature degrees above the upper alarm spec is greater than the value entered.

Catastrophe Alarm

This alarm is always secondary to the Standard and Degree-Minute alarms and there is no delay. Do not set Catastrophe Alarm inside normal alarm limits because other alarms will never be triggered.

Instantly raise alarm on readings below - tick this box if you want to immediately trigger the low alarm and select the value in the box immediately to the right. Note if the lower spec value is 0C, then the alarm can be triggered at -0.1C, not 0.0C as this value is considered within specification.

Instantly raise alarm on readings above - tick this box if you want to immediately trigger the high alarm and select the value in the box immediately to the right. Note if the upper spec value is 50C, then the alarm can be triggered at 50.1C, not 50.0C as this value is considered within specification.

The table below demonstrates arbitrary data from an iMiniPlus and how different alarm sources will be triggered. This is complicated scenario for alarm settings based on:

 Upper spec alarm: +20C

iMiniPlus Display

The iMiniPlus LCD can be configured to display or not display the temperature information.

Enable Display

Tick this box if you want to enable the display to show the temperature readings and statistics.

If the box is un-ticked, all other features will be greyed out. The iMiniPlus LCD will show “d-off” instead of a temperature value. Additionally you will not be able to scroll through the highest lowest, average and out of spec readings. The word “LATEST” will flash and if any alarm had been triggered, “HIGH ALARM” or “LOW ALARM” will be displayed.

The bookmarking function can still be used when the display is disabled.

When the iMiniPlus is stopped using the Stop button or it stops because it has reached the end of a logging trip, the words “d-off” will disappear and the word “STOPPED” will appear.

Display Units of measurement

You can select the LCD to display the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit.

Display change rate

You can select a frequency or 1, 2, 3 or 4 seconds that the LCD scrolls between the Highest, Lowest, Average and out-of-spec information. Note that the “LATEST” reading will only change at a frequency

Page 31

Preparing iMiniPlus for use 29

equal to the logging interval. So if the iMiniPlus is programmed to log every 1 minute, that will be the rate at which the “LATEST” reading changes.

Checking the time clock

There may be times when the time clock on the iMiniPlus may alter. This is the case when the battery is removed and not replaced for more than 30seconds.

Date/Time Tab - Check that the date and time is correct.

If you have removed batteries from the iMiniPlus for any length of time, make sure you either select:

 Change to the date and time on this

computer (default)

 Set to

The software will always default to the “Change to the date and time on this computer.” option.

Setting the Start, Stop and logging duration

Startup Tab - Configure the start, recording and stop conditions. The left-hand side of this tab displays the start conditions and the right-hand side the logging and stop conditions

Duration of trip, at least

If you are using the iMiniPlus to record the temperature of a trip (shipment) for instance, you have the option of setting up the parameters yourself or let the ConsolePro software calculate these automatically for you.

The software takes the total memory available (8048 readings) and calculates the maximum interval between each reading and the finish log trip time and date based on the trip duration you select. You can select 1day to 60day trip duration this way. You will notice that each time you select a trip duration, the logging interval will change.

Interval between each reading

This is sometimes called the logging interval or logging rate and is described as the period of time between each logged reading. If the interval is a low number, then the iMiniPlus memory will be filled quickly compared to a high number. If you want to record acute changes in temperature over short periods of time, it is best to select a low number or faster logging interval. If you want a logger to record readings over a long period of time, then you will be best advised to use a lower logging interval or high number. The fastest logging interval the iMiniPlus can log at is every 5 seconds.

Page 32

MP D range MP Dry Ice

The slowest logging interval the iMiniPlus can log is every 18 hours.

Start new log trip

The only way to start an iMiniPlus is by using the START button. With other products it is possible to have a timed or date start as well as a switch start.

You can also program a delay into the starting process of up to 4 hours 15 minutes. This will show immediately after the Start button is pressed within the iMiniPlus LCD with the words “IN DELAY”. See section

Starting and using the iMiniPlus

Finish log trip

There are several ways to cease a logging trip or period. You can program the iMiniPlus to log until all the memory is used up (8048 readings) or you may wish to log only 100 readings for instance.

Alternatively, you can select a certain number of days at which the iMiniPlus will stop logging. For instance you may only want to record the temperature for a discrete period like a few days, after which you are not interested in any further data recording. At each time the iMiniPlus will stop logging and “STOPPED” will be displayed on the LCD

Continuous logging

If you are intending to place the iMiniPlus in an environment that you want to record temperatures 24/7 (for example, laboratory refrigerator), you can select the iMiniPlus to log continuously. This means that the iMiniPlus will log until the memory it filled up at which time it will start overwriting the first logged data with the latest. Users must be careful to routinely download data from the iMiniPlus otherwise data may be lost. Careful selection of the logging interval is required in this case. It is possible to download at any time while the iMiniPlus is logging, without changing the program settings

Enable stop button in this logger(s)

The iMiniPlus Stop button can be activated through programming by simply ticking the appropriate box. See section

Stopping the iMiniPlus.

Summary and Upload Program into iMiniPlus

Once you have completed the programming, you will be given an opportunity to review all the conditions in the Summary tab before you upload into the iMiniPlus. If you are not happy with them select the <BACK button to return to the appropriate sections and amend. Check that program settings are what you want.

6. Results from iMiniPlus

The iMiniPlus stores the logged readings in its internal memory so you must use the ConsolePro software to extract these readings through the USB or serial adaptor and into a format that can be displayed on the PC screen. It is usually very important that the information retrieved from an iMiniPlus is retained. Through the software you can save the information retrieved from an iMiniPlus to your disk drive so that you can view the information at a later date. This chapter explains how you can retrieve the logged data stored within an iMiniPlus and have the software display it to you on the screen in a meaningful way.

Getting results from iMiniPlus

Make sure the USB or serial cable is connected to your PC and to the iMiniPlus. There are two ways to retrieve the data from an iMiniPlus, both of which will achieve the same result. Click the Download Information icon on the toolbar

Click the "Download Information..." item located under the Action menu.

The process of retrieving data stored within an iMiniPlus does not erase it from the memory. If the iMiniPlus is currently recording while you retrieve the information, it will continue to record without interruption. The Download Information feature initiates the Download Wizard.

Calculated Values

Mean Average

Select this option to display the average value of readings in the 2D graph legend.

The Mean Average reading is the arithmetic mean of the sequence of data points. It is calculated by adding all the data point values together and then dividing the total by the number of data points. Mathematically this formula can be expressed as illustrated in the following picture: Where:

For example, if there were 5 data points to calculate the arithmetic mean of and they were, 12.3, 15.9,

16.2, 14.7, 14.9, then the arithmetic mean would be 14.8.

Select this option to display the minimum value of the iMiniPlus readings in the 2D graph legend.

Dewpoint information

This statistic is not available on the iMiniPlus. (Relative Humidity loggers only)

Process Hygiene Index (PHI)

Select this option to display the aerobic and anaerobic process hygiene index of iMiniPlus readings in the 2D graph legend.

Process Hygiene Index (PHI) is:

 a unit of potential microbial growth equivalent to one generation of Escherichia coli ;

 an approximation of the amount of potential bacterial growth during the cooling process of meat

products from slaughter until the meat has cooled to 7°C (44.6°F) or less;

 a way of evaluating the overall hygiene of the meat cooling process.

Process Hygiene Index (PHI) consists of:

 Aerobic growth (growth on the outer layer of the meat carcass) of Escherichia coli during the cooling

process;

 Anaerobic growth (growth internal to the meat carcass) of Escherichia coli during the cooling process;

 the temperature of the meat during the cooling process.

The Process Hygiene Index (PHI) standard:

The MAF (New Zealand) Industry Standard 6 indicates that PHI values should not exceed a maximum of 14, and a mean of 7. For more detailed information on the application and use of PHI calculations, refer to New Zealand Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) Industry Standard 6, Processing of Edible Product, which is available through the Internet site (

http://www.maf.govt.nz

Software calculates Process Hygiene Index (PHI) using the following formulas:

T is the temperature in °C.

Mean Kinetic Temperature (MKT)

Page 44

24.48

24.17

Select this option to display the Mean Kinetic Temperature of the iMiniPlus readings in the 2D graph legend. There are some products and materials that exist which have accelerated rates of degradation at higher temperatures. For example, perishable food items, pharmaceutical products and many forms of bacteria can grow/degrade exponentially as the environmental temperature increases. Mean kinetic temperature is a calculation that accommodates the non-linear thermal effect temperature can have on products. Mean kinetic temperature is represented as the equivalent temperature the product was thermally subjected to during the period of time the various temperature readings were recorded. As an illustration of how the MKT calculation will affect an expressed mean for a yearly calculation (important for the long term storage of critical drugs and chemicals), here is an illustration:

If the temperature is constant for an entire year, but is "off" for a single month of that year, there will be a difference in the calculated arithmetic mean (the sum of all of the measurements divided by the number of measurements--a simple mean) and the kinetic mean.

The following graph and table show the differences which are calculated by both methods:

Effect on Kinetic and Arithmetic Mean Temperatures on storage for one month at other than 25° C.

Temperature (one month) Mean Temp.(Kinetic) Mean Temp.(Arithmetic)

16 24.51 24.25 17 24.54 24.33 18 24.58 24.42 19 24.62 24.50 20 24.67 24.58 21 24.72 24.67 22 24.78 24.75 23 24.85 24.83 24 24.92 24.92 25 25.00 25.00 26 25.09 25.08 27 25.18 25.17 28 25.29 25.25 29 25.41 25.33 30 25.53 25.42

Although the effect is not dramatic, it is clear that the MKT method weights the higher temperatures in a series more than the lower temperatures.

Default Folder

This determines the location where the files are stored. The location defined here can specify a local drive path or a network drive path. UNC folder names are supported. The button at the end of the edit control will assist you to locate the default store folder by browsing the folder structure available to you, if you choose to use it. Since this is the default location where files are stored, this also represents the default folder that will be used when searching for files to open (through the Open command in the File menu). The default location is “..\My Documents\My Logger Data”.

Date

The Date setting allows how the date information can be displayed by the ConsolePro software. It does not affect how the date information is stored and therefore, how the date information is shown can be changed at any time. Within this option window, a sample of the date using the formats selected will be displayed.

To customize how the date information is displayed, the following elements may be used. If spaces are used to separate the elements, these spaces will appear in the same location in the date displayed. The letters must be in uppercase or lowercase as shown in the following table (for example, "MM" not "mm"). Characters that are enclosed in single quotation marks will appear in the same location and unchanged in the date displayed.

Products

Because ConsolePro supports other logger models, you can select the appropriate type. Make sure the box called iMiniPlus is ticked, otherwise the software will not be able to find the logger

By using the arrow buttons down the right of the box, the priority of the model can be set. This may be important when more than one logger type is used and may speed up the communication of the model selected.

Communications

You need to select the correct communication port that is connected to the iMiniPlus. The box above displays all the ports available to be used within Console. Please make sure that if a USB adaptor is used it is connected BEFORE you start Console, otherwise it will not show in the list. If more than one port is displayed and you are unsure which is the one connected to the iMiniPlus, tick one and then select the Download or Program and Configure Wizard. If the iMiniPlus doesn’t communicate with the software then select another port until you are successful. If a USB adaptor has been used but removed, ConsolePro Software will default to COM1. If this cannot be used, you must close the software, reconnect the USB adaptor (COM5 shown above) and restart ConsolePro again.

Note:

If no Com Port is available, you cannot communicate with a logger, but you can view data files.

Languages

ConsolePro has multi language support. If a change is made it will not take effect unless ConsolePro has been restarted.

8. Menus and Toolbars

At the top of the screen for the ConsolePro software, just below the title bar, which contains the name of the software, is the menu system and toolbar for the software. The toolbar provides quick access to some of the more commonly used functions within the menu system. The menu system contains lists of all the operations and commands that are available to you while using the software.

Menu commands

The menu system has been separated into groups of related commands. Each of these menu groups is explained in more depth in the subsequent sections. The software will only display the menu groups and commands within each menu group that are appropriate depending on what you are currently doing with the software. You may also see that some of the menu commands have a reference after the command name, for example Ctrl+O. These represent key strokes on the keyboard that instruct the software to perform the appropriate command, without out the need to select the menu or toolbar command. For example to cause the command to be performed you must press and hold down the first key mentioned while pressing the other key once. When letters are used in the key reference, for example Ctrl+O, it does not matter whether or not the caps lock is on or off.

File Menu

The "File" menu contains commands that generally relate to an iMiniPlus file as a whole. An iMiniPlus file contains a variety of information that relates to a data set representing readings that were recorded over a discrete period of time by a single iMiniPlus. The File menu will appear similar to the following picture.

The following table outlines the commands and the explanation of each command that may appear in the "File" menu when using the ConsolePro software:

Changing the Battery

The iMiniPlus displays battery low symbol on LCD display once battery voltage falls below 2.8V. The iMiniPlus checks the battery status every 10minutes or when it is interrogated by software i.e. downloading or program and configure.

To change the battery, turn the iMiniPlus over and unscrew the battery cover on the back with a coin. Remove the old battery and exchange for a fresh one. Be careful not to damage the plastic thread on the inside of the battery compartment when removing the old battery, otherwise the battery cover may not fit securely back and in turn may allow moisture to enter the logger.

Note, if the battery is removed for a period of longer than 30 secs, the

internal clock will need adjustment back to the present data and time. This is done through the Program and Configure Wizard. See section Checking the time clock.
