Paused Readings
During configuration of the UTRED-16 you can set the option to ignore up to 15 readings
for alarm and statistics calculations after either button is pressed. The readings are still
shown on the graph and in the data listing, but they are labelled as
paused
, and their
value is ignored when determining alarm trigger conditions, minimum/maximum values
and other statistical calculations.
Pausing readings is useful, for example, when you need to temporarily remove the
probe from the monitored location to inspect goods, but you do not wish to trigger
an alarm as a result of you handling the probe.
It allows the logger to acclimatize to the environment
again, before further readings are processed.
After a button press the display shows
PAUSED
next to
the
symbol.
PAUSED
will turn off as soon as the last
ignored reading has been recorded.
The option is set in the
during
configuration with LogTag
®
Analyzer and is expressed in
number of readings after the last button press.
Paused readings are specially marked in the graph and data
listings.
How long
PAUSED
is displayed depends on when between readings you press the
button. It will show longer, if the button is pressed just after the logger takes a
reading, but shorter if you press the button just before. For example, if you
configure a logging interval of 10 minutes and 2 paused readings, the time
PAUSED
is shown could be as short as 10 minutes, but as long as 20 minutes.
Power Save
When
Power Save
is enabled, the display will automatically switch off if none of the
buttons have been pressed for 30 seconds.
This function is appropriate in applications where you don't need to look at the display
frequently, such as in transit monitoring applications, as the logger uses less battery
power when the display is not turned on.
Pressing any button will re-activate the display.
Power save
is enabled or disabled when configuring the UTRED-16 via LogTag
®
Analyzer
in the
tab.
