General information
The data loggers from the testostor 171 series measure
and save up to 55,000 readings with a battery life
(depending on version) of up to 4 years (see also page
21).
These loggers are designed for mobile use in the food
industry, for quality control and monitoring during the
transport of sensitive products or to monitor ambient
conditions following installation (or for the service) of air
conditioning systems.
The series includes the following versions:
testostor 171-0
testostor 171-1
testostor 171-2
testostor 1722
testostor 171-3
testostor 171-4
testostor 171-6
testostor 171-8

Description
The Testo Comfort Software provides user-friendly and
uncomplicated measured data analysis and processing
in Windows®. It is a modular system, which can be
adapted to the user’s requirements. The data logger
software is an ideal basis having all of the necessary
functions of a graphic or table analysis software for
measurement data at its disposal.
The testostor 171 software module can only be operated
together with Testo Comfort software. The enclosed
instrument driver sets up communication between the
testostor 171 series and your PC.
Optimum use of all the functions is only possible with the
mouse i.e. your PC must have two free interfaces
(COM1 and COM2) in order to operate. The standard
configuration is interface at COM1, mouse at COM 2.
Testo Comfort software is constantly brought up to date
based on the feedback we receive from our customers.
Please discuss your requirements with your Testo sales
partner and ask for the latest update.

plug or standard
adapter required.

A separate available display module can be plugged
onto the logger to read the measured values on
location.
You will find a detailed description in the Instruction
manual for the display module. Please contact Testo
or one of its agencies if interested.
