2.4 DATA LOGGING
2.4 Data Logging
No stopping
Tinytag Connect data loggers will start logging as soon as they are switched on. They do not need to be
‘launched’. It is possible to change the configuration of a logger (logging interval, channels labels, groups,
etc.) without stopping the logging process.
Time zones
Tinytag Connect data loggers store a timestamp with every measurement. This timestamp is traceable
to GMT.
Note that Tinytag Explorer will display this timestamp in your local time zone. This means that
timestamps displayed on the graph or readings view will be different for users in different time zones, or
will change when users move in and out of daylight savings time.
Timestamps are not affected in any way by the time zone of the user who installed or configured the
data logger.
Current Readings
If a logger has a good connection with the Connect Gateway, live readings will be shown in black and
readings will update every few seconds.
If communications with a logger are poor, or the logger is out of contact with the system, the last logged
values will be shown in grey.
The update interval of live readings will be extended when viewing readings from multiple devices (or if
multiple users are viewing current readings simultaneously).
Note: The Current Readings feature in Tinytag Explorer has been designed as a diagnostic tool to check
loggers are working correctly, and to aid troubleshooting a system that is having problems. Extensive
use of this feature will affect battery life in radio loggers due to the extra radio activity so it is not
recommended for day-to-day use.
