Why is the data logger not appearing in the software?
If a HiTemp140X2 data logger doesn’t appear in the Connected Devices panel, or an error message
is received while using any of the HiTemp140X2 loggers, try the following:
• Check that the IFC400 or IFC406 is properly connected. For more information, see Troubleshooting
Interface Cable problems (below).
• Ensure that the battery is not discharged. For best voltage accuracy, use a voltage meter connected to
the battery of the device. If possible, try switching the battery with a new 3.6V lithium battery.
• Ensure that no other MadgeTech software (such as MadgeTech 2, or MadgeNET) is running in the
background.
• Ensure that MadgeTech 4 is being used. MadgeTech 2 and MadgeNET are not the correct software for
connecting a HiTemp140X2.
• Ensure that the Connected Devices panel is large enough to display devices. This can be verified by
positioning the cursor on the edge of the Connected Devices panel until the resize cursor appears, then
dragging the edge of the panel to resize it. The screen layout may also be reset in the options menu by
selecting File, Options, and scrolling to the bottom.
Troubleshooting Interface Cable problems
