INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on purchasing TrekView temperature monitoring solutions. You are now ready to revolutionize your supply

chain by using the most innovative, cost- effective temperature monitors available.

TrekView software makes it easy for you to manage, archive and analyze temperature history of shipped or stored prod-

ucts. The compact design of TrekView Tags allows you to monitor temperature at the item, case, pallet or truckload level.

TrekView Tag temperature data can be downloaded either with a TrekView Desktop Reader, TrekView Handheld Reader

or by directly connecting a TrekView Tag to a PC via the USB port.

TrekView products are versatile and can be customized to meet your application. This User Manual will walk you through

everything you need to know to successfully monitor temperature in your supply chain using TrekView products.

If you have additional questions not covered in this manual, please contact ShockWatch Technical Support at 800-527-

9497 or +1214-630-4580.

Thank you for your business!

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Before you start using TrekView software, please take a moment to familiarize yourself with some of

the terminology central to the TrekView application.

Auto Awake Time

The day/time selected for the tag to start recording.

Auto Sleep Time

The day/time selected for the tag to stop recording.

Auto Record Time

An amount of time selected for the tag to record.

Bin Dividers

The perimeters of a temperature bin to help differentiate one bin from another. Bin dividers are used when recording data in histograms.

Conﬁgure / Conﬁguration

Programming a tag. Atag can be programmed or conﬁgured with various parameters (i.e., temperature alarm limits, trigger times, soaking time, etc.).

CSV

The acronym for comma separated value. A CSV ﬁle is a type of Excel ﬁle.

DTR (Desktop Reader)

A desktop transceiver device that can both send and receive wireless commands with a TrekView Tag.

Email Alert

Software properties can be set up to send an automatic email alert upon downloading a TrekView tag that has recorded excursions. Information on email

alerts can be found under the Tools menu. See page 62.

EULA

The acronym for End User License Agreement.

Excursion

An instance of a measured temperature exceeding a programmed temperature limit. Also known as a temperature breach or a cold chain break.

FTT

The acronym for full tag transfer. Software properties can be set up to send full tag transfer upon downloading a TrekView tag. Data will then be sent

upon every tag being downloaded. Full tag transfer details can be found on page 62.

HHR (Handheld Reader)

A handheld transceiver device that can both send and receive wireless commands with a TrekView Tag.

LCF

The acronym for logic conﬁguration ﬁle. These are saved temperature conﬁguration ﬁles and will be referred to as LCFs.

LDF

The acronym for logic data ﬁle. These are saved temperature data ﬁles and will be referred to as LDFs.

LED

The acronym for light-emitting diode.LEDs are used to show excursion and recording status in a TrekView Tag’s display windows.

Logging Interval

Intervals refer to temperature data points. A logging interval is recorded and plotted depending on how a tag is programmed. Each logging interval is

plotted on a temperature curve graph and denotes time / temperature information per data point.

LRT

The acronym for last recorded temperature. This value is the last temperature the tag recorded in the tracking interval or logging interval (whichever was

most recent).

Maximum Excursion Count

The maximum number of excursions that a tag will record. TrekView Tags track a maximum of 48 excursions.

Maximum Logging Time

The maximum amount of time that a tag will plot data points on a curve graph. The logging interval is programmable. If the logging interval is pro-

grammed to plot a point every minute, the maximum logging time is 2 days, 18 hours, 40 minutes. After this time has expired, the log will end but the tag

will continue to track for excursions and will continue to record data in the histogram.

Maximum Tracking Time

TrekView Tags have a maximum tracking time of up to three years. The tracking time refers to a temperature reading taken every minute and stored in

the temperature bins of the histogram. The storage of tracked temperatures are not related to the logging interval. The histogram feature is an additional

memory function that stores temperatures and can capture excursions that a logging interval may fail to capture. (i.e., The histogram will continue to ﬁll

even if the log is full.)

MKT

The acronym for mean kinetic temperature. It is a simpliﬁed way of expressing the overall effect of temperature ﬂuctuations during storage or transit of

perishable goods. The value chosen for calculating the MKT is deltaTH = 75.0. This value was chosen as it is in range of 60–100 KJ/mol, which is com-

mon for many pharmaceutical and biological solids and liquids.

Off Mode

In this state, a TrekView Tag is not recording, in standby mode or soaking. The tag is off. This condition is the lowest power state and is the proper mode

for TrekView storage.

Order of Magnitude

Orders of magnitude are generally used to make very approximate comparisons, but reﬂect deceptively large differences.

Newly Conﬁgured Tag

A tag that has a new conﬁguration (a conﬁguration that has not been used before).

Reader

A transceiver device that can both send and receive wireless commands with a TrekView Tag.

Record Time

The total time a tag has been recording.

Recording Mode

In this state, the tag is recording time and temperature.

RFID

The acronym for radio frequency identiﬁcation. TrekView Tags are temperature data loggers with an RFID interface. TrekView tags communicate with a

TrekView Reader by reﬂecting information back to the reader. This feature enables data download and tag activation without the reader making contact

with a TrekView Tag. RFID also allows for rapid data download. A full 4,000-point data log can be downloaded in 0.5 seconds.

Run Time

The total operation time for a tag’s use (including sleep time, soaking time and recording time).

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Soaking Time

Soaking refers to a programmed start delay. Once a tag is started (by pressing the on button or by activating with a TrekView Reader) the tag will not

begin to record time or temperature until the soaking time has expired. Soaking is a programmable feature. The purpose of soaking time is to allow time

for a TrekView Tag to be conditioned to the environment it is to monitor.

Standby Mode

In this state, a TrekView Tag has been placed in ready to start mode. A tag must be placed in standby mode if a customer would like to start recording

with tag button press.

Tag Data

Additional data that can be uploaded to a tag. (Up to 64 free-form characters allowed.)

Tag Label

The “name” uploaded to a tag. (Up to 15 alphanumeric characters allowed.)

Tag Mode

The state that a TrekView Tag is in. A tag can be in one of four modes:

• Off

• Standby

• Soaking

• Recording

Temperature Bin

As part of the histogram display, each temperature bin represents a speciﬁc temperature range. For each bin, there is a calculation that represents the

number of minutes the tag has been exposed to temperature range of that bin.

Tracking Interval

Intervals refer to temperature readings. A temperature reading is taken every minute. The tracking interval data is used to track for excursions, min / max

temps and will appear in the histogram.

TrekView Tag or tag

The TrekView temperature monitoring data logger. This manual may reference TrekView Tag or simply tag.

USB

The acronym for universal serial bus. It is used to establish communication between devices and a host controller (usually personal computers).

Valid Digital Signature

A valid digital signature veriﬁes that the PDF report or XML export was created by the TrekView Software and there was no tampering. See page 61.

Turning a Tag On

In order to use the ON/OFF button on the front of the tag, the tag must be placed in standby mode and conﬁgured using

the TrekView software. To conﬁgure your tag, please refer to page 57.

Press the ON / OFF button between your foreﬁnger and thumb. While

pressing the button, view the Active display window. There will be a

momentary solid green light displayed in the status window, indicating

you have successfully turned the TrekView Tag on.

Once a tag is successfully turned on, the programmed soaking time

will begin.

After the soaking period has expired, the tag will begin recording time

and temperature.

NOTE: If the ON button is pressed during the soaking period, the soaking period will start

again. This feature prevents the tag from being turned off immediately after it was turned

on.

Turning a Tag Off

To stop manually, press and hold the ON / OFF button between your

foreﬁnger and thumb for one full second. While pressing the ON / OFF

button, view the Active LED display window. A green light will ﬂash two

times in the Active display window, indicating that the tag has been

successfully turned off.
