List the logger and its channels
Give the logger model and serial number, then list the channel labels as they appear in an exported file. Identify an internal sensor or each detachable probe. For a combined temperature and humidity logger, specify which readings you want reviewed.
Working points and access to the record
State the temperature points used for acceptance and whether the display, downloaded readings or both are used in your procedure. Mention a required docking cradle, cable or software. Keep a copy of any operational records you need before releasing the unit.
Where the recorded value comes from
Some loggers calculate a minimum, maximum or average between downloads. If the quality record uses a particular saved field, send a sample export showing that field and its units. The logger's current display and a saved average over the previous interval may legitimately differ. Tell RTS which value the report needs to compare.
For a multi-channel unit, mark unused channels on the list and identify any probe that moves between channels. Before sending the logger, have the data owner preserve any historical run the plant needs and name the person authorised to change its recording settings.
If the job is a room or chamber survey
A logger quotation covers the named instrument and channels. To assess temperature variation across a room or chamber, tell RTS the space dimensions, set points, loading and recording period so we can review the mapping requirement separately.
