No need for a separate Reader - connect this logger directly to your PC with a USB cable.
See both the current temperature and historical min and max temperatures.
The LogTag is so simple to set up and use that you'll be an expert in no time. We have a full LogTag training program on our site.
This USB model has all the features of the standard LogTag without the need to buy a LogTag Interface. This means that it is more cost effective if you only need one or two loggers. (If you are monitoring more than that then the standard LogTag is more cost effective.)
You need to install a copy of the free LogTag Analyser software on your Windows PC to program the logger prior to use.
To retrieve the data, you plug the LogTag directly into a USB port on your PC.
This USB LogTag has an extra party trick that first generation models don’t. When you plug it into the USB port on your computer, it opens a folder – similar to a USB memory stick. In that folder is a PDF copy of the data report.
This means that data reports can be read on any computer using just a PDF reader such as Acrobat.
The automatically generated PDF make this an ideal logger for tracking cold chain transport.
Pack a USB LogTag with your goods and the receiver can plug it into any PC (no software needed) and download the report.

| Compliance and Certifications |
|
If you need some form of certification about the accuracy of your logger, you have various options.
This is a free certificate that comes with every LogTag. You can access this certificate through the configuration page in LogTag Analyser.
This paid certificate is from a laboratory that uses testing instruments that have been calibrated using NATA-traceable instruments.
This paid certificate is from a laboratory that has full NATA certification.
Before you can start using a new logger, you will need to configure it with all the settings appropriate to what you are logging.
This is not difficult, and we have instructions on how to do it on this website, but if you would prefer us to do it for you, that service is available at a small cost.
We can pre-configure your LogTag with our recommended settings for:
This means, all you will need to do when you receive your LogTag, is press the Start button and place it in the environment to be monitored.
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.
Depending on the type of logger you have, connecting your logger to your PC means either:
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.
