Tinytags are easy to use. Connect the logger to your PC using a USB or serial cable, use Tinytag Explorer data logging software to configure the logger and leave it in place to record the data.

Configuration options allow the user to set the time interval for each recording, define alarm limits and start options.

To retrieve the data re-connect the logger to your PC to view in a convenient graph format. It can then be saved and exported to other applications. Alternatively use Tinytag Shuttle data logging software with an HP iPAQ if you need to leave the loggers in position.

Furthermore, a cost effective, waterproof and robust probe custom-designed for compost applications is now available. With molded handle, 1m stainless probe and the option to monitor surface as well as core temperature.
