The step-by-step guide below will help you to troubleshoot the error message 'This logger doesn't work with this version of the software' in Tinytag Explorer, Tinytag Explorer Connect and Tinytag DI.

1. Check that your software is up-to-date

You can check to see if you are running the latest version of the software here.

2. Reset your data logger

If your software is up-to-date, but the error message persists, your data logger may need to be reset.

To reset your data logger, remove the data logger's battery, leave the device for five minutes, then reinsert the battery.
