To open the configuration PDF for the TESTO 184 and set a report with data, follow these steps:

1. Remove the USB cap from the TESTO 184 data logger.
2. Plug the data logger into the USB port of a computer.
3. Wait for a window to open automatically.
4. Double-click the configuration file to open it (no installation or download is required).
5. Ensure that a PDF reader is installed on the computer.
6. Configure the settings, select the data logger model, and export the configuration as an XML file.
7. The XML file is saved on the data logger, completing the configuration.

This process allows you to generate a measurement report when the data logger is used.

@Mr. Anderson - thank you for your response. I know how to use the data logger and uploading information into the LIVE configuration PDF form... What my problem is (with 3 of the data loggers) is that the live sheet is not visible. When i open what i think is the live sheet it does not open.
