LogTag USB Range

2nd Generation vs 1st Generation

1st Generation loggers rely on a LogTag Reader Interface for configuration and data download. 2nd Generation loggers plug directly into a USB port, eliminating the need for a reader and enabling automatic PDF report generation. 

LogTag’s 2nd Generation loggers are designed for convenience and efficiency, featuring direct USB connectivity. These loggers are ideal for users who need quick access to data without additional hardware, making them perfect for transport monitoring and multi-site operations.

Direct USB Connection: Plugs into any PC or Mac USB port, functioning like a USB drive for easy data access.

Automatic PDF Reports: Generates PDF reports instantly upon connection, viewable with any PDF reader (e.g., Adobe Acrobat) without proprietary software.

No Reader Required: Eliminates the need for a LogTag Reader, reducing setup costs and complexity.

Configuration: Requires LogTag Analyzer software (free download) for setup but not for data retrieval.

Applications: Ideal for cold chain transport, vaccine fridges, and scenarios where recipients need quick data access without software.

Quick and easy logging in any situation. Ideal for shipping, food fridges and freezers, and medical fridges. No Reader required.

$108.90 incl. GST

Records temperature from -90°C to +40°C. The probe is placed in the super cold environment, while the logger itself stays outside. See the temperature at a glance on the LCD screen. The USB ports means that no separate reader is required - just insert it straight into your PC to download the data. Probe not included.

$152.90 incl. GST

All the features you are looking for. The Premium USB logger has a USB plug, LCD temperature display, and a replaceable battery. Ideal for vaccine fridges, hospitality and shipping.

$174.90 incl. GST

Latency explained

What is latency?

Latency, when it comes to temperature logging, refers to the delay between a change in temperature and when that change is detected and recorded by the logger. This delay can be due to the sensor’s design, the materials it’s placed in, or the logging interval. While it might sound like a disadvantage, latency can actually serve a useful purpose in certain environments—particularly where short-term temperature spikes are common but not harmful.

For example, in a busy commercial fridge, the temperature may briefly rise every time the door is opened. A logger with high latency won’t immediately react to these short fluctuations, helping to avoid unnecessary alarms or false data indicating a problem when there isn’t one. In these cases, a slight delay in response acts like a filter, focusing attention on real issues—such as prolonged exposure to unsafe temperatures—while ignoring the everyday ups and downs that don’t affect product quality or safety.

Differrnt connections

Connecting your logger

Depending on the type of logger you have, connecting your logger to your PC means either:

  • inserting into the Reader,
  • plugging it into a USB port, or
  • connecting it via a USB cable.

What's so good about USB?

First Generation LogTags use a separate Reader (sometimes called a dock) for configuration and for downloading recorded data. 

The Second Generation loggers only require a USB port or cable. Apart from saving the cost of the Reader, this makes them much better suited for shipping, because the recipient doesn’t need a LogTag Reader to download a report about the shipment’s journey.
