Note:

  When  the  MicroLite  is  in  Cyclic  mode,  the  Low  or  High  alarm  level  displayed 

represents the  lowest  or  highest readings  recorded  since  the  MicroLite  starting  logging 
data, irrelevant of how many cycles the logger has recorded.  

Minimum and Maximum Temperature Readings 

The logger display automatically scrolls through the Min/Max temperature readings while 
sampling.  
These readings are simply the minimum and maximum temperature values recorded by 
the MicroLite up until that point. If your logger has breached an alarm level, look at the 
MIN and MAX readings to see the extent of the low or high alarm level breach. 
These readings are constantly updated.  

1.4. 

MicroLite Working Modes 

MicroLite is always set in one of five possible modes. These modes are all activated via 
the MicroLab Lite software. 

 

Stop 

MicroLite is idle and is not recording.  
When pressing 

Stop

 in the MicroLab Lite software, the logger LCD immediately ceases 

to  record  data,  instead  displaying 

STOP 

and  scrolling  through  the  alarm  durations  (if 

alarms were previously recorded). 

 

Run 

MicroLite  is  recording  data.  It  will  stop  recording  automatically  when  its  memory  has 
reached full capacity (8,000 or 16,000 samples depending on the model).  

 

Cyclic Run 

Similar  to  Run  mode,  but  MicroLite  will  continuously  sample  data,  recording  over  old 
data when the memory reaches its capacity, beginning with the earliest data recording. 

 

Timer Run  

MicroLite can be configured to start recording at a predetermined time. When MicroLite 
is set for such a run, its status is set to Timer Run. The logger LCD displays 

tRUN

 

Push to Run  

MicroLite  will  only  begin  logging  data  when  the  user 

operates the  logger’s  reed switch 

with the MicroLite magnet. The logger LCD displays 

PUSH

. See sectio
