 Why PDF? 

 

This logger has been developed to eliminate the need of installing proprietary software on PC to view logger data. 
The main application for this was logger shipments to remote areas or places where installation of new software 
for  just  occasional  downloading  data  from  logger  was  not  justifiable.  Portable  Document  Format  developed  by 
Adobe ® Systems was chosen since almost all PCs have at least one version of Adobe ® Reader installed. The PDF 
file generated by the logger is not encrypted and only intended to provide the user with a simple and convenient 
method of examining logger data to make a decision on accepting or rejecting the shipment.

Logger profile 

 

The iMiniPlus PDF Logger is available in two models. Both have the same temperature range of sensor;  
D-range (-40°C to +70°C). 
 
One model has the thermistor sensor mounted inside the logger (Product code MU-IN-D-8-L) 
 
The other model comes with the same sensor as above but encapsulated inside a stainless steel tip on a 1meter 
PVC cable. This sensor assembly is permanently connected to the body of the iMiniPlus (Product code MU-OE-D-
8-L) 
 
The iMiniPlus has a fully functional LCD display and push buttons. A summary of these features and functions is 
described below.
