TEMPERATURE LOGGER – INSTRUCTIONS V 1.0x A
1 INTRODUCTION
TagTemp-USB is a small portable el ectronic temperature logger. Its
internal sensor measures local environment temperature and logs
such values in an electronic memory. Logged data, or
ACQUISITIONS, can be later viewe d and analyzed on a PC where
they can be opened in tabular and graph forms.
The LogChart II software ena bles to set up the equipment operation
mode. It is also us ed for viewing acquisitions. Othe r parameters suc h
as end of measurements, logging interval, etc., are easily defined
through the LogChart II software.
Acquisitions can also be exported to be analyzed in other
applications, such as spreadsheet programs.
1.1 IDENTIFICATION
The identification label is on the equipment body. Check if the
features described are in accordance with your order.
Fig. 01 – Front view of the device
Status indicator: This visual i ndicator reports the st atus of operation
of equipment through the n umber of fl ashes that occur in an interval
of five seconds. The states of operation are:
• One flash: The device is waiting to start the log in memory
(standby) or completed a series of logs in memory;
• Two flashes: the device is performing logs in memory;
• Three flashes: the device is or has gone through an alarm
condition and is not performing logs in memory;
• Four flashes: the device is or has gone through an alarm
condition and is performing logs in memory.

3 OPERATION
It is only possible to operate the equipment after the LogChart II
software is installed to a PC, according to the steps described in
LogChart II Software section of this manual. The communication
between equipment and PC is performed with the aid of the microUSB cable.
The equipment operati on mode set up is defined in advance by using
the LogChart II software. Each setting must be defined and the
consequences observed.
The equipment starts and stops logging as defined in settings.

4.1 INSTALLING LOGCHART II
The LogChart II, application is used to configure the parameters for
data transfer. To install the LogChart II, run the file LC_II_Setup.exe
available on our web site.
4.2 RUNNING LOGCHART II When you open LogChart II the main window is displayed.
Fig. 02 – LogChart II main window
Next, select the serial port that the communication i nterface will use
in the “Port” menu.
Check which serial is available. Usually COM2 is free, once the
mouse uses COM1. The chosen port wi ll be chosen by default next
times the LogChart II is initiated. When a val id port is selected, the
icons below are displayed.

4.3 CONFIGURING THE EQUIPMENT
For device configuration is necessary that the communication
interface is connected to the computer, using the selected port
described in the previous section. See figure below.
Fig. 04 – Communication via USB cable
After the serial port is selected, click on the button:
The Parameters Con figuration screen is displayed. In this s creen
the user can define the equipment operation mode and also obt ains
general information about the device.
Fig. 05 – Configuration window
Fields are:
1- Title: In this field, the user identif ies the equipment by assigning it
a name.
2- General info rmation: Area with inf ormation about the equipment,
such as Model, Serial Number, equipment Date/Time, PC Date/ Ti me,
firmware version, memory capacity and number of acquisitions
stored in memory.
In this field, time is constantly updated while the communication
between equipment and computer is taking place.
3- Readings: Presents a series of parameters that define the
acquisition process.
Interval: Defines the interval betw een readings: The minimum
interval is (5) seconds and maximum is (18) hours.
Note: When the type of value l ogged is minimum, maximum or
average values, the minimum interval is 50 seconds.
Estimated time: In this parameter, the equipment informs the
user how long it will take to occupy the full memory, in the
conditions set up during configuration.
Start of Readings: Readings can be started in one of three
different modes:
• Immediately: s tart as soon as set up is ready and sent
(OK) to the equipment.
• Date: readings start at predefined date and time.
• Setpoint: acquisitions start when a temperature setpoint
is reached. In this option, t he setpoint v alue is defined i n
the Channels field, where the Alarm parameter is
replaced by setpoint.
Stop loggings: Options for the end of readings are:
• Full Memory: readings can be stored up to the full
memory capacity is reached.
• Don’t stop (Wrap around): readings are continuous,
replacing old records with new ones as the number of
readings overpass the memory capacity.
4- Channels: Displays other parameters related to temperature
measurement:
Unit: Defines the unit of the value measured: ºC or ºF for
channel 1 (temperature).
Value: It defines how the value measured will be registered.
Options are:
• Instantaneous: The val ue logged wi l l be ex actl y the val ue
measured at each interval def ined. Measurement is taken
at the end of the defined interval. The minimum interval
between measurements is 5 seconds.
