on

 

the

 

LCD

 

screen.

 

Note

 

that

 

the

 

alarm

 

limits

 

are

 

only

 

checked

 

when

 

the

 

logger’s

 

LCD

 

screen

 

refreshes

 

every

 

15

 

seconds.

 

 

The

 

actual

 

values

 

for

 

the

 

high

 

and

 

low

 

alarm

 

limits

 

are

 

set

 

to

 

the

 

closest

 

value

 

supported

 

by

 

the

 

logger.

 

For

 

example,

 

the

 

closest

 

value

 

to

 

85°F

 

that

 

the

 

UX100

 

series

 

logger

 

can

 

record

 

is

 

84.990°F

 

and

 

the

 

closest

 

value

 

to

 

32°F

 

is

 

32.043°F.

 

In

 

addition,

 

alarms

 

can

 

trip

 

or

 

clear

 

when

 

the

 

sensor

 

reading

 

is

 

within

 

the

 

logger

 

specifications

 

of

 

0.02°C

 

resolution.

 

This

 

means

 

the

 

value

 

that

 

triggers

 

the

 

alarm

 

may

 

differ

 

slightly

 

than

 

the

 

value

 

entered.

 

For

 

example,

 

if

 

the

 

High

 

Alarm

 

is

 

set

 

to

 

75.999°F,

 

the

 

alarm

 

can

 

trip

 

when

 

the

 

sensor

 

reading

 

is

 

75.994°F

 

(which

 

is

 

within

 

the

 

0.02°C

 

resolution).

 

 

When

 

you

 

read

 

out

 

the

 

logger,

 

high

 

and

 

low

 

alarm

 

levels

 

will

 

be

 

displayed

 

on

 

the

 

plot

 

along

 

with

 

“Chan

 

<#>

 

Alarm

 

Tripped”

 

and

 

“Chan

 

<#>

 

Alarm

 

Cleared”

 

events

 

showing

 

when

 

the

 

sensor

 

alarm

 

tripped

 

and

 

cleared.

 

The

 

“Chan

 

<#>

 

Alarm

 

Cleared”

 

event

 

contains

 

the

 

value

 

that

 

was

 

furthest

 

out

 

of

 

range

 

for

 

the

 

sensor

 

before

 

the

 

alarm

 

cleared

 

(see

 

the

 

Points

 

table

 

for

 

the

 

actual

 

value).

 

Burst

 

Logging

 

Burst

 

logging

 

is

 

a

 

logging

 

mode

 

that

 

allows

 

you

 

to

 

set

 

up

 

more

 

frequent

 

logging

 

when

 

a

 

specified

 

condition

 

is

 

met.

 

For

 

example,

 

let’s

 

say

 

the

 

logger

 

is

 

recording

 

data

 

at

 

a

 

5

minute

 

logging

 

interval

 

and

 

burst

 

logging

 

is

 

configured

 

to

 

log

 

every

 

10

 

seconds

 

when

 

the

 

temperature

 

goes

 

above

 

85°F

 

(the

 

high

 

limit)

 

or

 

falls

 

below

 

32°F

 

(the

 

low

 

limit).

 

This

 

means

 

the

 

logger

 

will

 

record

 

data

 

every

 

5

 

minutes

 

as

 

long

 

as

 

the

 

temperature

 

remains

 

between

 

85°F

 

and

 

32°F.

 

Once

 

the

 

temperature

 

reaches

 

90°F,

 

for

 

example,

 

the

 

logger

 

will

 

switch

 

to

 

the

 

faster

 

logging

 

rate

 

and

 

record

 

data

 

every

 

10

 

seconds

 

until

 

the

 

temperature

 

falls

 

back

 

below

 

the

 

high

 

limit

 

(or

 

85°F

 

in

 

this

 

case).

 

At

 

that

 

time,

 

logging

 

then

 

resumes

 

every

 

5

 

minutes

 

at

 

the

 

normal

 

logging

 

interval.

 

Similarly,

 

if

 

the

 

temperature

 

falls

 

to

 

30°F,

 

for

 

example,

 

then

 

the

 

logger

 

would

 

switch

 

to

 

burst

 

logging

 

mode

 

again

 

and

 

record

 

data

 

every

 

10

 

seconds.

 

Once

 

the

 

temperature

 

rises

 

back

 

to

 

32°F,

 

the

 

logger

 

will

 

then

 

return

 

to

 

normal

 

mode,

 

logging

 

every

 

5

 

minutes.

 

To

 

set

 

up

 

burst

 

logging:

 

1.

 

Select

 

Burst

 

for

 

Logging

 

Mode

 

in

 

the

 

Launch

 

Logger

 

window.

 

If

 

Burst

 

has

 

already

 

been

 

configured

 

for

 

this

 

logger,

 

click

 

the

 

Edit

 

button

 

in

 

the

 

Launch

 

Logger

 

window.

 

Note

 

that

 

you

 

cannot

 

set

 

up

 

alarms

 

with

 

burst

 

logging.

 

You

 

also

 

cannot

 

select

 

the

 

Stop

 

Logging

 

option

 

“Never

 

(wrap

 

when

 

full)””

 

if

 

burst

 

logging

 

is

 

configured.

 

2.

 

In

 

the

 

Burst

 

Logging

 

window,

 

select

 

a

 

sensor.

 

In

 

the

 

example

 

at

 

right,

 

the

 

temperature

 

sensor

 

was

 

selected.

 

3.

 

Select

 

the

 

High

 

Limit

 

checkbox

 

if

 

you

 

want

 

to

 

set

 

up

 

a

 

condition

 

in

 

which

 

burst

 

logging

 

will

 

occur

 

when

 

the

 

sensor

 

reading

 

rises

 

above

 

the

 

high

 

limit

 

value.

 

Type

 

in

 

the

 

value

 

or

 

drag

 

the

 

red

 

upper

 

slider

 

(see

 

example

 

below).

 

4.

 

Select

 

the

 

Low

 

Limit

 

checkbox

 

if

 

you

 

want

 

to

 

set

 

up

 

a

 

condition

 

in

 

which

 

burst

 

logging

 

will

 

occur

 

when

 

the

 

sensor

 

reading

 

falls

 

below

 

the

 

low

 

limit

 

value.

 

Type

 

in

 

the

 

value

 

or

 

drag

 

the

 

blue

 

lower

 

slider.

 

 

5.

 

Repeat

 

steps

 

2

 

through

 

4

 

for

 

the

 

other

 

sensor,

 

if

 

desired.

 

6.

 

Set

 

the

 

burst

 

logging

 

interval,

 

which

 

must

 

be

 

less

 

than

 

the

 

logging

 

interval.

 

Select

 

either

 

a

 

preset

 

burst

 

logging

 

interval

 

or

 

select

 

Custom

 

and

 

enter

 

your

 

own

 

interval.

 

Keep

 

in

 

mind

 

that

 

the

 

more

 

frequent

 

the

 

burst

 

logging

 

rate,

 

the

 

greater

 

the

 

impact

 

on

 

battery

 

life

 

and

 

the

 

shorter

 

the

 

logging

 

duration.

 

7.

 

Click

 

OK

 

when

 

done.

 

This

 

will

 

return

 

you

 

to

 

the

 

Launch

 

Logger

 

window.

 

Click

 

the

 

Edit

 

button

 

next

 

to

 

Logging

 

Mode

 

in

 

the

 

Launch

 

Logger

 

window

 

to

 

make

 

additional

 

changes.

 

Notes:

 

 

Once

 

the

 

logger

 

is

 

launched,

 

the

 

high

 

and

 

low

 

burst

 

logging

 

limits

 

are

 

only

 

checked

 

when

 

the

 

logger’s

 

LCD

 

screen

 

refreshes

 

once

 

every

 

15

 

seconds.

 

Therefore,

 

if

 

you

 

set

 

the

 

logging

 

interval

 

to

 

less

 

than

 

15

 

seconds

 

and

 

the

 

sensor

 

reading

 

falls

 

outside

 

the

 

limits,

 

the

 

burst

 

logging

 

will

 

not

 

begin

 

until

 

the

 

next

 

15

second

 

refresh

 

cycle.

 

 

If

 

high

 

and/or

 

low

 

limits

 

have

 

been

 

configured

 

for

 

more

 

than

 

one

 

sensor,

 

then

 

burst

 

logging

 

will

 

begin

 

when

 

any

 

high

 

or

 

low

 

condition

 

goes

 

out

 

of

 

range.

 

Burst

 

logging

 

will

 

not

 

end

 

until

 

all

 

conditions

 

on

 

all

 

sensors

 

are

 

back

 

within

 

normal

 

range.

 

 

The

 

actual

 

values

 

for

 

the

 

burst

 

logging

 

limits

 

are

 

set

 

to

 

the

 

closest

 

value

 

supported

 

by

 

the

 

logger.

 

For

 

example,

 

the

 

closest

 

value

 

to

 

85°F

 

that

 

the

 

logger

 

can

 

record

 

is

 

84.990°F

 

and

 

the

 

closest

 

value

 

to

 

32°F

 

is

 

32.043°F.

 

 

Burst

 

logging

 

mode

 

can

 

begin

 

or

 

end

 

when

 

the

 

sensor

 

reading

 

is

 

within

 

the

 

logger

 

specifications

 

of

 

0.02°C

 

resolution.

 

This

 

means

 

the

 

value

 

that

 

triggers

 

burst

 

logging

 

may

 

differ

 

slightly

 

than

 

the

 

value

 

entered.

 

For

 

example,

 

if

 

the

 

high

 

limit

 

for

 

a

 

temperature

 

alarm

 

is

 

set

 

to

 

75.999°F,

 

burst

 

logging

 

can

 

start

 

when

 

the

 

sensor

 

reading

 

is

 

75.994°F

 

(which

 

is

 

within

 

the

 

0.02°C

 

resolution).

 

 

Once

 

the

 

high

 

or

 

low

 

condition

 

clears,

 

the

 

logging

 

interval

 

time

 

will

 

be

 

calculated

 

using

 

the

 

last

 

recorded

 

data

 

point

 

in

 

burst

 

logging

 

mode,

 

not

 

the

 

last

 

data

 

point

 

recorded

 

in

 

“normal

 

mode.”
