Temperature Data Loggers Downloading in 5 Steps.

Here the typical instructions to make a temperature data loggers downloading:

1. If required Turn-On the temperature data loggers, verify if they need to be connected using USB, Bluetooth, or WIFI to be wireless transmitted in real-time to any connected device.

2. Open the Temperature Data Loggers Application.  Most data logger vendors have their own proprietary software and drivers to connect for initial configuration and downloading of information once collected after the thermal study.  Sometimes these applications are free and can be downloaded online from the vendor’s web page, but other vendors have a charge for their software applications.

3. Connect the data logger using the corresponding connection (e.g. USB cable, etc.) to a computer to extract the data.

4. Select the option to “Download” the information.

5. Select between the file format(s) available to download the temperature information (e.g. *.txt, *.xls, *.cvs, etc) to your preferred location. (e.g. local drive or cloud storage.)

Once the temperature information is downloaded, you can access them using MS Excel, Minitab, MS Word, or any other application of your preference to make the graphs, statistics of averages, maximums, minimums, and the summary final report.

CIQA can bring you these services, as well as the rental of the data loggers to make the monitoring.

Thermal studies require the use of very expensive validation instrumentation and equipment, which represent a high cost in many cases if the utilization of that equipment is very low.

Since some companies do not have the internal personnel with the experience and knowledge to perform these studies, they contract third-party companies as CIQA Engineering to make that work. Thermal Mapping Outcomes

CIQA Engineering has the equipment and experienced professionals to perform the thermal mapping and qualifications. We can prepare the protocols, bring the measurement instruments for monitoring, make the analysis and reporting documents once the data is gathered.

Recommendations to Avoid Mistakes Using Temperature Data Loggers.

We suggest evaluating all your requirements and needs to use temperature data loggers, but, also consider the frequency of use monthly, and how fast you need them on-site for your validation study.

So, you can determine if is better to buy or rent them based on the expertise and time availability of your employees to configure and prepare the trending graphs and summary statistical reports on time.

Before buy, consider the cost of the data loggers, but, also the cost of the calibration and its lead time.

Evaluate and compare the total costs and lead times, against the costs to rent data loggers already calibrated.

If you are NOT using temperature data loggers frequently, consider a fast CIQA rental of the calibrated data loggers required for the thermal study. Thermal Mapping Outcomes
