between each reading and the finish log trip time and date based on the trip
duration you select. You can select 1 day to 60day trip duration this way.
You will notice that each time you select trip duration, the logging interval will
change.
10.5.2
Interval between each reading
This is sometimes called the logging interval or logging rate and is described as
the period of time between each logged reading. If the interval is a low number,
then the iMiniPlus PDF memory will be filled quickly compared to a high number.
If you want to record acute changes in temperature over short periods of time, it
is best to select a low number or faster logging interval. If you want a logger to
record readings over a long period of time, then you will be best advised to use
a lower logging interval or high number.
The fastest logging interval the iMiniPlus PDF Logger can log at is every 5
seconds.
The slowest logging interval the iMiniPlus PDF Logger can log is every 18 hours.
10.5.3
Start new log trip
The only way to start an iMiniPlus PDF Logger is by using the START button.
With other Escort products it is possible to have a timed or date start as well as
a switch start.
You can also program a delay into the starting process of up to 4 hours 15
minutes. This will show immediately after the Start button is pressed within the
iMiniPlus PDF with the words “IN DELAY”.
10.5.4
Finish log trip
There are several ways to cease a logging trip or period.
You can program the iMiniPlus PDF Logger to log until all the memory is used up
(8048 readings) or you may wish to log only 100 readings for instance.
Alternatively you can select a certain number of days at which the iMiniPlus PDF
will stop logging. For instance you may only want to record the temperature for
a discrete period like a few days, after which you are not interested in any
further data recording.
At the prescribed time the iMiniPlus PDF Logger will stop logging and
“STOPPED” will be displayed on the LCD.
You can also enable the “STOP” button on the logger. This is disabled by default,
because in most applications it is better to take too many readings than too few.
Downloading the logger (reading the stored results into the computer) does not
interfere with a running trip. However, if you Program the logger with new trip
settings while it is still running, the previous trip data are lost. In other words,
be sure to download and save the previous trip before setting up a new one. In
this case “READY” is displayed on the LCD.
