Portable Temperature Logging with Thermochron Temperature Sensors
Scanning Devices Thermochron System links the Dallas Semiconductor Thermochron iButton temperature sensor, Handheld PDA's and desktop PC's in a Portable Temperature Logging System with data collection, display, analysis, archiving and distribution.Thermochron iButtons are small, industrially packaged sensors, suited for installation in a fixed location to monitor and log temperature at that point or packaged and shipped with goods to monitor temperature in transit. Thermochron iButtons provide a wide range of setup options specifying how and when temperature measurments are made and how results are reported.
The Scanning Devices Handheld or Laptop/Desktop Applications set logging options automatically with a few taps on the screen to initiate the Thermochron iButtons' measurement and logging. While logging is underway the application allows monitoring status and progress, retrieving and displaying temperature data, graphing temperature data, and saving readings in either the Handheld or PC database.
The database also stores preferences for iButton setup options to insure that the iButton is performing as planned. The Handheld application uses a Setup Wizard, a series of screens that capture information necessary to start measurement and logging. The Handheld or PC calendar is used as well, to start logging at a specific date and time, report when it is going to end, or even coordinate multiple iButtons so that they will all start at the same time.
Finally, hot-sync/active-sync the Handheld to move or copy temperature data from the Handheld database to a Windows PC. Use the PC application to do more: display temperature data graphically or in tabular form, file it, format it for spreasheets, email or even generate web pages.
