3INTRODUCTION

TagTemp-USB is a small portable electronic temperature logger. Its internal sensor measures local environment temperature and logs such

values in an electronic memory. Logged data, or ACQUISITIONS, can be later viewed and analyzed on a PC where they can be opened in

tabular and graph forms.

The NXperience and LogChart II software enables to set up the device operation mode. It is also used for viewing acquisitions. Other

parameters such as end of measurements, logging interval, etc., are easily defined through the NXperience and LogChart II software.

Acquisitions can also be exported to be analyzed in other applications, such as spreadsheet programs

3.1 Identification

The identification label is on the device body. Check if the features described are in accordance with your order.

5OPERATION

To operate the device, you must install NXperience software or LogChart II software on a PC, as instructed in the SOFTWARE NXPERIENCE

and SOFTWARE LOGCHART II chapters of this manual. The communication between device and PC must be performed using a USB

connector.

The configuration that defines the operation mode of the device must be previously created in the NXperience or LogChart II software. Each

parameter must be defined, and the consequences must be observed.

The device starts and stops registering as defined in the settings

6DEVICE CONFIGURATION

To perform a configuration, the device must be connected to the USB port of the PC.

7NXPERIENCE SOFTWARE

7.1 Installation

NXperience software allows you to explore all the features of the device by communicating through its USB interface. It is also a complete tool

to perform the analysis of the data logged by TagTemp-USB.

To install NXperience, just execute the NXperienceSetup.exe file, available from our website.

7.2 Running NXperience

When you open NXperience, the main window is displayed as shown in Fig 3

You should click Configure, and then click Read Device

To mitigate problems, insert or remove the USB cable

carefully.

If you find it difficult to connect, make sure that the cable is

properly seated. No use of force is required.

•Log Interval: Allows you to select the frequency (in hours, minutes or seconds) with which a log must be made and logged in the

memory.

•Estimated Time: Based on the value set in the Log Interval, shows the estimated time for the memory to fill.

MEMORY MODE

•Full Memory: Logs can be stored up to the full memory capacity is reached.

START MODE

•Immediately: Start as soon as set up is ready and sent (OK) to the device.

•Date/Time: Logs start at predefined date and time.

•Setpoint: Logs start when a certain temperature value is reached. In this option, the setpoint value is set in the Channels field, in the Upper

Setpoint and Lower Setpoint parameters (these options appear only when this log mode is selected)

7.2.4 Finalization

CONFIGURATION

•Send Configurations and Start Logs: Allows you to send the configuration to the device and start the logs.

•Save to File: Allows you to save the configuration to a file that can later be used.
