Great Little Device

This gizmo is a HOOT. It's totally sealed. Download the software. Plug into USB (I used a USB extension cable. It would be a hassle to have it sticking out of the computer!) Configure how you want it to work. i.e. Centigrade vs. Fahrenheit, when to start, how often to record, etc. I've used it for a bunch of random experiments, and it functions perfectly. For example, I set it up to record every five minutes, put it in my checked luggage, and after the trip I saw exactly how cold (or hot) it got during the trip. I'm doing an experiment to see how long cold packs will keep my insulin under 46 degrees (F). It's almost exactly the same size as my insulin pen, so I just place it where the insulin pen would go and see what happens. I am certain that this is not "laboratory grade" as far as precision and accuracy go. However, if you want to know something simple, such as "how hot does my house get when I'm away?" it's perfect.

Easy to use.

Used these to monitor Refrigerator and freezer that was experiencing wide temperature swings. Easy to set up, easy to use software.

Easy to set-up and use, accurate

I use the temperature logger to record temperature in a sausage curing chamber. Does the job well.

Great for hiking

I know this is not what it was designed for, but I'm sure they won't mind that I found a great new use. The software is easy to download and install on a mac. They even have videos to walk you through if you need that. I set it up and tested it in my freezer and verified the temperature readings were accurate. The application itself seems complicated, but if you work with it a bit, you realize most of the settings can be left at their defaults. I wanted to measure the temperature while I was on a hike to Cucamonka Peak. The only weakness was that it did not have a way to attach it to my backpack, so I used duct tape to bind it to one of my straps. After a little more than an hour, I realized that placement was too close to my body, so I moved it to the back of the backpack. It started giving better readings so that I was able to read the drop in temperature along the rest of the hike. Once I was done, I saved the data into the graph you see here. After this use, I learned a few tips for future hikes: (1) the metal sensor is very sensitive, it will pick up your body heat within 1 foot distance, so place it and point it away from your body. (2) the sun will also affect it, so keep it shaded. (3) a good place for it would be low on your backpack with a roll of toilet paper covering it (to reduce the sun effect), and taped securely. The fact this little gadget did what it was not designed for, and did it well (and survived a fall intact) is more than enough to recommend it for this unconventional use.
