6 PDF REPORT
At the end of each logging session, the data logger automatically generates a PDF re-
port, which can then be copied to the PC via the USB port of the instrument. When ge-
nerating the report, the display of the instrument shows PdF.
The report includes the graphs of the detected quantities and information about the
logging session: logging start and stop time, logging interval, number of samples ac-
quired, alarm thresholds, minimum, average and maximum of each detected quantity.
The report includes the calculation of the Mean Kinetic Temperature (MKT). The
Mean Kinetic Temperature is an evaluation index of the cold chain used in the pharma-
ceutical field, and is calculated according to the Haynes equation as a function of all the
temperature measurements acquired during the logging session. The Mean Kinetic
Temperature is used to evaluate temperature fluctuations experienced by a biological
substance during storage or transport, and corresponds to the storage temperature that,
if maintained constant, produces on the biological substance the same effects of the ac-
tual temperature changes recorded in the time period considered (i.e. the duration of
the logging). You can set the value of the activation energy, parameter necessary for
the calculation of MKT.
In the graphs are shown in gray the areas of alarm (values that exceed the thresholds
set).
The time required to generate the PDF file depends on the amount of data acquired,
and can go from a few seconds (if the amount of data acquired is limited) up to about
a minute.
Note: the PDF report is generated with the data stored in the Flash memory; the
number of samples in the Flash memory may be less than the number of samples
stored in the CSV file (please see the memory capacity in the specifications table).
Note: if the ambient temperature is below zero or the battery level is low, the PDF re-
port is not generated at the end of the logging session, but when the data logger is
connected to the PC. At the end of the logging session, the “CON USB FOR PDF” mes-
sage appears on the display.
The generation of the PDF report can be enabled/disabled by using the HD35AP-S ap-
plication software or, alternatively, by holding pressed the STOP button and then
pressing the reset button located on the electronic board (above the battery connec-
tor).
