A single mouse click can export the data to Microsoft Excel for detailed analysis and report generation.
Options in the software allow the GFX logger to upload time, date and recorded data to the PC where they can be graphed in a cursor-based chart that displays temperature as a function of recorded time and date. When a logging session is complete, the GFX logger is plugged into any computer onto which the software is installed using the supplied cable. The software programs all operating parameters and options. The GFX-1 is programmed using software that is provided with the instrument. Using front panel buttons you can also start and stop the logger and view pre-programmed alarm thresholds. In addition, three front panel function buttons allow you to view the memory consumed (0-100 %), the number of readings contained in the logger’s memory, and the current battery capacity (0-100 %.) The last recorded temperature can also be viewed, along with historical temperature data in the form of minimum and maximum temperatures logged during the current recording cycle, as well as an historical temperature trend plot. If the door opens the temperature will momentarily rise, but the logger can be configured to ignore that increase for a programmed number of samples before triggering an alarm.ĭuring deployment, status LEDS provide continuous visual feedback of sampling events, battery status, and alarm states. For example, the logger is placed inside a freezer or refrigerator. This is useful where temperature is known to fluctuate momentarily into an alarm threshold, but does not necessarily indicate an alarm condition. The GFX also supports a programmable alarm delay feature, from immediate to after 250 readings. Model EL-GFX-1 provides a security option that can prohibit tampering of the logger in any manner that would affect recorded data after deployment. The GFX-1 is powered by two replaceable (non-rechargeable) ½ AA lithium batteries, for long-life recordings typically up to one year. Typical programmable parameters include a unique data logger name, ☏ or ☌ temperature scale, sampling interval (10 seconds to 1 hour), high and low alarm limits, security settings, triggered recording parameters, and more. Its integrated USB interface allows the instrument to be configured by any Windows-based PC. The EL-GFX-1 data logger offers a cost-effective approach to temperature data logging.
