6. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

TagTemp is a small portable electronic temperature data logger. Its internal sensor measures local environment temperature and

logs the 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 configuration and data transfer can be fulfilled only with the IrLink communication wand which is supplied with Logchart-II software.

The software enables to set up the logger operation mode. It is also used for viewing acquisitions. Other parameters such as end of

measurements, logging interval, etc., are easily defined through the LogChart-II software.

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