3. Launch the EasyLog 21CFR software. The software should detect the connected data logger.
4. Within the software, configure the desired logging parameters, including:
   • Logging rate (e.g., every 10 minutes, every hour)
   • Start mode (e.g., immediate, delayed start, push-button start)
   • Alarm thresholds (high and low temperature limits)
   • Units of measurement (°C or °F)
5. Apply the settings to the data logger. The logger is now ready for deployment.

4.3 Sondeverbinding

Connect the thermistor probe to the designated input port on the data logger. Ensure a secure connection for accurate readings.

5. Operasie

5.1 Begin van data-logging

The method for starting data logging depends on the configuration set in the software:

• Onmiddellike begin: Logging begins as soon as the settings are applied from the software.
• Vertraagde begin: Logging begins after a pre-set time delay.
• Druk-knoppie begin: Press and hold the push-button on the data logger for approximately 3 seconds until the 'REC' indicator appears on the LCD.

5.2 Viewing Readings on LCD

Press the push-button briefly to cycle through the displayed information on the LCD:

• Huidige temperatuur: The real-time temperature reading from the probe.
• Highest Recorded Temperature: The maximum temperature recorded during the current logging session.
• Lowest Recorded Temperature: The minimum temperature recorded during the current logging session.
• Logging Status: Indicators such as 'REC' (recording), 'STOP' (stopped), 'FULL' (memory full).

5.3 Stop van data-logging

Logging can be stopped in several ways, depending on the configuration:

• Memory Full: Logging automatically stops when the device's memory capacity (32,000 readings) is reached.
• Push-Button Stop: If configured, press and hold the push-button for approximately 3 seconds until the 'STOP' indicator appears.
• Via Software: Connect the logger to a computer and use the EasyLog 21CFR software to stop the logging session.
