Label
If you are working with more than one data logger, label each logger, identifying the task and
location before you distribute them throughout a building or system. To do this, you can simply
use a shipping tag. Later, when you retrieve them to graph their data, you will know what each
graph refers to. There is a description field in the Setup that can be used for entering the tag
information. Note that after editing and saving the Description you will need to click Contact to
update the new Description in TrendReader Explorer and in the Diagnostic Log.
Mounting
Use the locking hole on the cap to conveniently secure your logger. If you are concerned
about theft lock your logger to a permanent fixture using the loop or take advantage of its
small size and hide it completely out of view. Because Nautilus loggers are so light, you can
use special mounting fasteners like Velcro® to attach them to almost any surface. Make sure
your logger's mounting method will last the full length of your logging session.
Cold or Humid Environments
Make sure that the environment you will be placing your logger into will be acceptable by
referring to the
in this chapter.
Keep Track
Make sure you keep a record of where you have placed each logger in a building or system
plan. You will save time looking for them when your data gathering session is over. Also,
keep track of when you placed the loggers in the area you are monitoring. This will help when
producing graphs on your computer. It may be helpful to label (shipping tag) each logger so
you can properly identify and differentiate it from other loggers.
Analysis
After sufficient time has passed for the logger to obtain a representative profile of data, it is
time to analyze the information. If you are retrieving the logger from the field, bring it back
immediately to your computer for analysis.
In order to analyze your Nautilus logger's data, you must first transfer a backup copy of its data
to your computer. To do this, see Backup in the TrendReader guide. After transferring your
information to the computer, the data is automatically copied to disk and time and date
stamped.
You can find a detailed description of all software functions in the TrendReader guide.
