To view logger data remotely, a viewing tool (website) is used. Various websites are
available. Each website presents data associated with logger installation sites. The
choice of website will depend on the type of sensors used and their application.
Data from your logger can also be viewed locally using IDT during a site visit.
Refer to the training materials available for your viewing tool and also the IDT user-
guide for further information.

(
FOR LOGGER PROGRAMMING AND TESTS
)
A software tool, known as “IDT” (Installation and Diagnostic Tool), is available for
checking or making adjustments to the logger setup and also for testing the logger
operation on-site.
Choosing which version to use
The IDT software tool provides a user-interface to the logger. It can be used for checking
or making adjustments to the logger settings and for testing the logger operation within
its installed site.
Prior to IDT being able to perform these functions, it has to ‘connect to’
the logger; this simply means that the two end devices (logger software and IDT
software) are able to communicate with each other over a working communications
path.
IDT is available in three versions:
•
IDT for PCs having a Windows-operating system.
•
IDT for mobile devices (phones and tablets) having an Android operating system.
•
IDT for mobile devices (phones and tablets) having an (Apple) iOS system.
The latter two are referred to as the ‘IDT app’, whereas the first is referred to as ‘IDT
(PC)’ or ‘IDT (Windows)’.
