This function enables RT/RS-14WB Series thermo recorders to automatically upload recorded data to "T&D WebStorage Service" where uploaded data is 
available for viewing and settings can also be changed.

The following procedure has been written assuming the use of "T&D WebStorage Service" with RT/RS-14WB Series thermo recorders. Please read the 
"T&D WebStorage Service" License Agreement carefully before making settings. Making Auto-upload Settings indicates your acceptance of this Agreement.

• This procedure requires Internet access via wireless or wired LAN.
• The maximum number of readings which can be stored in "T&D WebStorage Service" is 

80,000. When this limit is exceeded, the oldest data will be overwritten.

• If you wish to select a server other than "T&D WebStorage Service" for auto upload of data, 

please use "THERMO RECORDER DATA SERVER". (See 

 on the reverse side.)

If you wish to use a static IP address instead of DHCP, make network settings using 
software. 

See reverse side.

 Viewing Recorded Data

In order to view the recorded data on a web browser, it is necessary to register 
devices to "T&D WebStorage Service" in advance.

1. 

Access "T&D WebStorage Service" from the web browser on your PC or mobile 
device. 

http://www.webstorage-service.com/

2. 

Click [Create Account] to go to the registration page, and follow the directions to 
complete the registration. If you already have your User ID, go to the next step.

3. 

Login by entering the registered User ID and Password.

4. 

In the [Device Settings] window click [+Device].

5. 

In the Add a Device page, enter necessary information* and click [Add].

6. 

After data is sent to "T&D WebStorage Service" either by auto-upload or by 
pressing the <REC/STOP> button on the thermo recorder, the added device 
and its measurements will appear in the [Data View] window.

Troubleshooting Tips

If measurements are not displayed:

Check the screen of the thermo recorder and make sure 

 is ON; If not, press 

<REC/STOP> to start recording. See "Recording Interval Setting (Common Operation)" 
above.

If the display of measurements is not refreshed:

Try making the recording interval shorter. If the recording interval is set to longer than 
the upload interval, the same measurement is displayed until the next recording occurs 
and the new data is uploaded.

If you lose your registration code label:

Open the software "RT/RS-14WB for Windows" and connect your thermo recorder via 
USB to the computer. The connected thermo recorder and its information will appear 
in the left boxes of the main window. The registration code can be found here.

If you wish to save recorded data to PC:

Use "ESPEC Graph" that is available for download from the T&D Website.  
See 

 on the reverse side.

Note that the setting changes will not be actually applied until communication oc-
curs between the thermo recorder and "T&D WebStorage Service". By pressing the 
<REC/STOP> button on the thermo recorder, however, settings can be applied imme-
diately.
