How to Use JR Loggers

Using your JR-1000/1001 data logger for most applications is a simple process.  With proper

planning, setup and installation of your data logger, you can be assured that the information

you collect will be both correct and useful. The following provides general procedures for using

JR-1000/1001 data loggers.  For additional and specific information on these steps, refer to

the chapter in this manual.

Planning

Proper planning is the key to successful data logging.  Time spent in this stage will help you

save time and frustration later. To help you plan, answer these questions:

·

What exactly do I want to measure?

·

Where is the best place to measure?

·

How long do I want to monitor for?

·

Should other variables be monitored simultaneously?

Setup

To set up your JR-1000/1001 data logger you must first have TrendReader software installed

and running on your computer.  You can then configure your logger with various options by

connecting it directly to your computer's serial port or via a serial cable.

Set Sample Rate

Always confirm the sample rate (how often the logger saves readings) to make sure it will be

acceptable for your application.  You can alter the frequency at which your JR-1000/1001

logger records readings by changing the sample rate.  You can choose rates from 8 seconds

to 34 minutes.  The sample rate chosen will apply to all the active channels on the logger.

To help determine which sample rate you should choose, answer these questions:

·

How long do I need to record data?

·

How much time will elapse between when I retrieve the logger and download the data to

my computer (for example, the trip back to the office)?

·

How often do readings need to be taken?

Clear Memory

Before starting a logging session, clear the logger's memory.  This will help to keep the

collected files smaller as well as decrease the time needed to backup the logger later.  Note

that clearing the memory is automatic if you save or apply the setup changes (for example, set

memory compression on or off, change sample rate, etc.).

Test

You can directly read the values that your JR-1000/1001 data logger is sensing using the

Realtime capability of TrendReader software.  This test gives you the opportunity to check

your logger setup and make any necessary changes before starting the logging session.
