Data File

Recording Summary

Item Description
Start Time Recording start time, also the time of the first point
Stop Time Recording stop time (last point) or time device being stopped manually
Stop Type

The means by which device was stopped

  • Manual, device was stopped by pressing Stop button on device
  • Memory full, device stopped recording due to memory capacity used up
Data Points Total number of data points recorded

Trip Length

Time span between first point time and last point time, equals to Last point time -first point time

or ((total number of data points -1) x logging interval)

Duration

Recording Duration

Equals to (total number of data points x logging interval)

Sensor Statistics

Item Description
Sensor
  • T: Temperature sensor
  • RH: Relative Humidity sensor (if it's available in current device)
Max Maximum value

Max@

Max Time

Time of the first maximum value point
Min Minimum value

Min@

Min Time

Time of the first minimum value point
Avg Average value
MKT

Mean Kinetic Temperature

Mean kinetic temperature (MKT) is a simplified way of expressing the overall effect of temperature fluctuations during storage or transit of perishable goods.

MKT formula

  • Tk = MKT in ºK
  • ΔH = Activation energy ( 83.14472 kJ/mol)
  • R = Universal gas constant
  • Ti = temperature in ºK
  • n = Total number of temperature sample points

 

*MKT only applicable to temperature sensor

Sensor Alarm Statistics

Item Description
Violation Events

Number of alarm violation events of each alarm zone

A group of consecutive data points exceeding the alarm limit of an alarm zone is considered as one violation event

Violation Duration

Duration of alarm violation of each alarm zone

Equals to (Total number of data points violating alarm limit x Logging interval)

Alarm Status

Alarm status of individual alarm zone

  • Ok (No alarm triggered)
  • Alarm
  • Null (No alarm settings)
First Triggered Time of the point triggering the alarm for the first time

Alarm Settings

Item Description
Alarm  Zone

Name of enabled alarm bands

High Zones

Data point values above limits of these zones will be considered as limit violations

  • H3 (A1)
  • H2 (A2)
  • H1 (A3 / High / Hi)

Low Zones

Data point values below limits of these zones will be considered as limit violations

  • L1 (A5 / Low / Lo)
  • L2 (A6)
  • L3

 

[Number of alarm zones supported may vary between different device models]

Alarm Limit Alarm threshold value

Alarm Delay

Time condition for triggering alarm
Alarm Type

Algorithm types for determination of alarm triggering

  • Single (Single Event), alarm will be triggered when sensor readings exceed alarm limit for time not less than Alarm Delay time consecutively
  • Cumulative (Cumulative Event), alarm will be triggered when sensor readings exceed alarm limit for a total time not less than Alarm Delay time
