Main Components

The main components of the JR-1000/1001 data loggers include:

·

a memory chip that has the capacity to store up to 244,800 readings (see

Specifications

)

·

a microprocessor and an 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (A/D) that converts all

temperature signals to digital values

·

a quartz clock crystal that accurately keeps track of time and regulates the taking of

readings

·

an accurate on-board thermistor that the logger uses to measure ambient temperature

via changes in resistance

·

a lithium battery that provides power to the logger and internal sensors

1.1.3

Programmed Operation

JR-1000/1001 data loggers run according to settings that you program.  These pre-selected

settings are stored in the logger's memory and instruct it to:

·

take readings at regularly spaced intervals

·

associate the channel with an equation in TrendReader software

·

start readings with or without a delay

·

take readings continuously, or stop when memory is full

1.1.4

How JR Loggers Take Readings

Each JR-1000/1001 data logger has an on-board temperature sensor that you can use to

record ambient temperature.

JR-1000/1001 data loggers can store readings to memory using one of two sampling methods:

1

. First-in, First-out (FIFO). In this method the logger continues to take readings when its

memory is full (to make room, it discards the oldest reading every time it adds a new

one).  Thus, the memory will contain a "sliding window" of information.

2

. Stop when Full. The logger stops recording when its memory is full.

You can set the time interval at which your logger saves readings using TrendReader

software. At a sample rate of eight seconds, one reading is taken every eight seconds and

saved to memory. JR-1000/1001 data loggers can record readings using one of two modes:

1

. Average. As you slow the sample rate the logger begins to average readings before

saving them to memory. To do this the logger takes a reading every eight seconds, but

instead of transferring this directly to the logger's memory, it stores the readings in an

accumulator (a temporary memory) where it is retained until the sampling interval is

over.  Then the accumulator is averaged and the result is stored to memory.

2

. Spot. The logger records the value of the reading at the selected sample interval and

stores it to memory.  No averaging is done.

When you backup a logger's data to your computer, the correct time and date are referenced

to each reading.  All readings are then individually time and date stamped and processed by

an equation associated with each logger channel.  The result is a collection of accurate
