Bulk Offload Tool

Tinytag Explorer has always been ideal for handling individual data loggers, and now the new Tinytag Explorer Bulk Offload Tool makes it equally easy to handle multiple data loggers at the same time.

The tool allows multiple units to be offloaded, re-launched or spot-checked at the same time.

To start the bulk tool go to: Start >> All Programs >> Tinytag Explorer 4.7 >> Tools >> Bulk Logger Tool

Next, click the Set Up button and select the serial or USB ports you wish to use.

You are then presented with four options:

Launch - Allows you to start a set of data loggers recording. You will be prompted to configure the first data logger plugged in and those settings will then be applied to all subsequent data loggers.

Stop - This option allows you to stop a batch of data loggers recording.

Get Data - Downloads the data from a logger and saves it automatically in the format of your choice (by default the file format is the Tinytag .ttd file format, but other formats include .xls, .cvs and .txt). The file name used is the serial number of the data logger and the date it was offloaded (the data files also include a number - 1, 2, 3 etc - to avoid conflicts if more than one offload is performed on a given date).  

Current Readings of All - This option allows you to see what multiple data loggers are currently reading.

Select the desired operation and then simply plug in each logger in turn. The tool will automatically detect the logger when it is plugged in and perform the requested operation. When the progress bar reaches 100% the logger can be disconnected and the next one plugged in.

If required, the number of ports available can be increased by using a USB hub.
