USRIC USB Temperature Data Logger Quick Start Guide

This quick start guide covers preparation, use and 

maintenance for the following models: 

USRIC-4, USRIC-8 and USRIC-16

The LogTag

®

 USRIC family consists of 3 fully configurable, single-use USB 

temperature data loggers.
All models can be downloaded to LogTag Analyzer or uploaded to LogTag 
Online, a cloud storage and sharing platform, and the data viewed from 
anywhere in the world where you have access to a PC. The USRIC-8 and 
USRIC-16 models can also create PDF temperature reports without the 
need to install proprietary software or hardware at the destination.

1.  EQUIPMENT SETUP

Before you can use your LogTag

®

 data logger, it needs to be configured 

with several parameters. For this, you need a PC running Windows and the 
free companion software 

LogTag

®

 Analyzer

 from our website.

Browse to the software page at 

https://logtagrecorders.com/software/ 

and navigate to the Downloads page. Once downloaded, install LogTag

®

 

Analyzer, then start the program. (For detailed software download and install 
instructions, please refer to the LogTag

®

 Analyzer User Guide).

2.  LOGGER CONFIGURATION

Remove the protective cap and plug the LogTag

®

 logger into a USB port 

on your PC. Start the software and click 

LogTag - Configure

, or press 

F3

Following dialogue will be shown:

1.  Add a description for the logger or the goods it accompanies 
2.  Select Date/Time start, or Push button start (with pre-start logging).
3.  Specify how long you wish to record for (with optional start delay).
4.  Choose the time duration between each reading.
5.  Specify the 

upper

 and 

lower

 temperature alarms.

6.  Optionally, specify a password for next configure or download.

Complete any other entries as required for your trip. You can also set the 
parameters for your PDF file, and specify if the logger can be manually 
stopped.
When you have entered all parameters, click 

Configure

.

You can remove the logger from the USP port when you see the success 
message.
Every LogTag

®

 model is unique in specification. For more information on 

setting the advanced configuration options of your model please refer to 
the description in the LogTag

®

 Analyzer User Guide or in the Product User 

Guide for your specific model.
You are now ready to start and deploy the logger.

3.  START / INSPECT

Depending on your selection during configuration, the logger may start 
recording by itself at a specific time, or require a manual start.
We recommend enabling pre-start logging, so data is not lost if the user 
forgets to press the button. This way, temperatures will be recorded even 
before the trip is started.

A start delay can be useful, if you need the logger to acclimatize before the 
recording of data begins.
While recording, the green LED blinks every 4 seconds if none of the 
configured alarm conditions have been met. As soon as one of the alarms is 
triggered, the red alert LED blinks every 4 seconds.
After the LogTag

®

 USRIC started logging, pressing the Mark button will 

insert an inspection mark in the data recordings, which is displayed when 
viewing the data in the software or on-line.

4.  DOWNLOAD / RESULTS

At the end of the trip, several options exist for viewing the recorded data.

Viewing the on-board PDF

USRIC-8 and USRIC-16 models generate a PDF file as soon as they are 
plugged into a PC. Refer to the products’ user guides for information about 
what the PDF contains and how to access it. 

The files created by the 

USRIC loggers are not automatically copied to a permanent storage 
volume on your computer. If you wish to retain the files you need to 
manually copy them to a location such as your Documents folder.

Viewing the data with LogTag

®

 Analyzer

The same software used for configuring the logger can also be used to 
view recorded data. With the software running, click 

LogTag - Download

 

or press 

F4

. You can now inspect the data as a chart, data list or report. At 

the same time, a file with the data is saved to the 

Documents

 - 

My LogTag 

Data 

folder on your PC, which you can share with other users.

Viewing the data with LogTag Xpress

Instead of using LogTag Analyzer, you can use LogTag Xpress to view the 
data. More information is available from 

https://logtagrecorders.com/ltx/

 

View the Data with LogTag Online

Continue to read on the next page to see how you can upload the logger’s 
data to LogTag Online so you can view and share your 
data.

Date/Time start

If you configured the logger 

for a Date/Time start, simply 

wait until this time has 

passed. The logger will start 

recording automatically.

Push-Button Start

To start the logger, press 

and hold the Start/Mark 

button until the red and
