The display on my logger is blank
The display on a Tinyview or Tinytag View 2 data logger will only show readings while the unit is recording. If your device has a blank screen, it may have stopped recording or the battery might need replacing.

Check 'automatic com port detection' is turned on
Tinytag Explorer can detect data loggers automatically, but this feature might not be turned on in your software.
To check whether Tinytag Explorer is set to automatically detect data loggers, go to Options >> Communication Options and ensure that the Use Fully Automatic Com Port Detection option has been selected.
If this option is not present in the version of the software you are using, you should upgrade to the latest version as described below.
Check the data logger's battery life
If your data logger's battery has run flat, it will not be visible to the software.
If you believe you need a new battery for your data logger, details of the service kits we supply can be found here: Tinytag Service Kits.
Check for software updates
