- Logger name
- Measurement parameter (°C or °F)
- Logging rate. The rate is user-selectable between 10 seconds and 12 hours. Along with frequency selection, data logging software will inform you of the time until your logger is full (see Figure 1 - displayed in brackets).
- High and low alarms. Alarm values range from -40°C to 87.5°C and are adjustable in 0.5°C increments.
- You can choose to HOLD an alarm. When selected, the USB logger will continue to indicate the alarm even when the logger has returned to the set parameters.
- Immediate and delayed logging start.

7. Alarm Indicating LEDs: When user-programmable alarms are breached, the LED will flash red – so you never miss an alarm. Choose between a continuous alarm OR the LEDs to flash only as the alarm occurs.
8. Water and Dustproof: IP67 rated, you can expect the EL-USB-1 to excel in most conditions.
9. Memory: The EL-USB-1 logs up to 16,382 temperature recordings. Depending on your programmed data collection rate, you can expect continuous recording anywhere between 45 hours to over two years.
10. A Wealth of Useful Data: Stop and download data using the same free software. Gain valuable insights from your collected temperature data using graph or data view features. Export the data as CSV (data), JPEG (graph), PDF (data), PDF (graph), EXCEL (Data and Graph) or view a summary report.
11. Long Life Battery: The EL-USB-1 is supplied with a long-life lithium battery – expect approximately 1-year battery life (depending on your log rate).
