Start new log trip

The only way to start an iMiniPlus PDF Logger is by using the START button. With other products it is possible to
have a timed or date start as well as a switch start.
You can also program a delay into the starting process of up to 4 hours 15 minutes. This will show immediately
after the Start button is pressed within the iMiniPlus LCD with the words "IN DELAY".

Finish log trip

There are several ways to cease a logging trip or period.
You can program the iMiniPlus PDF Logger to log until all the memory is used up (8048 readings) or you may wish
to log only 100 readings for instance.
Alternatively, you can select a certain number of days at which the iMiniPlus will stop logging. For instance, you
may only want to record the temperature for a discrete period like a few days, after which you are not interested in
any further data recording.
At the prescribed time the iMiniPlus PDF Logger will stop logging and "STOPPED" will be displayed on the LCD.
You can also enable the "STOP" button on the logger. This is disabled by default, because in most applications it is
better to take too many readings than too few.
Downloading the logger (reading the stored results into the computer) does not interfere with a running trip.
However, if you Program the logger with new trip settings while it is still running, the previous trip data are lost. In
other words, be sure to download and save the previous trip before setting up a new one. In this case "READY" is
displayed on the LCD.

Continuous logging

If you are intending to place the iMiniPlus in an environment that you want to record temperatures 24/7 (for
example, laboratory refrigerator), you can select the iMiniPlus PDF Logger to log continuously. This means that the
iMiniPlus PDF Logger will log until the memory it filled up at which time it will start overwriting the first logged data
with the latest.
Users must be careful to routinely download data from the iMiniPlus PDF Logger otherwise data may be lost.
Careful selection of the logging interval is required in this case.
It is possible to download at any time while the iMiniPlus PDF Logger is logging, without changing the program
settings.
