App Installation and Initial SetupProprietary Information
Downloading the Thermco Temperature DataLogger Application for AndroidOn and Android Smart Phone with NFC Download theThermco Temperature Data Logger Application for Android: Login to the Google Play Store Search for Thermco (see picture to the right) Download and install NOTE 1: The original versions of these data loggersindicate on the labels that they work with the “NHS3100Temperature Logger App”. This is still true, but we dorecommend that the Thermco app is used instead onAndroid phones. iPhone Operation: Install “NHS3100 Temperature LoggerApp” from NXP. iPhones restrict NFC capabilities andtherefore cannot be used to configure the Thermco tags.iPhones support reading of the tags only. 2019 American Semiconductor, Inc.

Configuring a Tag to Begin Data LoggingProprietary Information
Configuring a Thermco Data Logger Tag (1)1.2.3.4.Swipe left again to go to the Config ScreenScan your Thermco Data Logger tag. Leavethe phone over the tag until all configurationhas been completed. Moving the phoneduring configuration may preventsuccessful configuration.You can now either send a newconfiguration to the tag or reset to thedefault (pristine, no logging) stateFive parameters can be configured: 5.Config ScreenBefore a ScanConfig ScreenDuring a ScanMeasurement IntervalConfigurationWait time before recording firstmeasurement (API v6 and above)Measurement intervalRun time until power-offLow temperature thresholdHigh temperature thresholdLock the tag to prevent tag reconfigurationand reset (API v7 and above) 2019 American Semiconductor, Inc.

Configuring a Thermco Data Logger Tag (3)1. Once you choose the settings you want pushthe “SEND CONFIGURATION TO TAG” button2. Next, two notifications appear: the first notifyingthat the configuration has been sent to thedemo, the second providing a confirmationfrom the Thermco Temperature Data Logger.When these confirmations are given, the demoPCB is fully set-up and ready to startmeasuring3. Once you have sent the configuration to the tagyou will need to move the tag away from yourphone for the tag to start taking measurements 2019 American Semiconductor, Inc.

Reading, Graphing and Exporting DataProprietary Information
Reading, Graphing and Exporting Data When you scan the tag again afterwaiting long enough for it to take afew measurements data will appearon the graph Data in the Graph and Livemeasurement will be shown in theunit determined by the Unit switch You can export this data to anexternal source by pressing theExport Data button. 2019 American Semiconductor, Inc.

Enabling Live MeasurementsProprietary Information
Enabling Live Temperature MeasurementsLive measurements provide immediatetemperature data to smart phone and areseparate from the logging function. Pleasenote that repeated live measurements witha smart phone in continued contact with thetags will produce erroneous reading due toheating caused by the smart phone and theRF field.1.2.3.4.Enable LiveMeasurementsTemp MeasurementGraph ScreenTurn on live measurementsScan the Thermco Data Logger tagVerify your tag is reading temperatureSwipe left again to go to graph. Thegraph will be empty until you configurethe Thermco Data Logger to startstoring measurements 2019 American Semiconductor, Inc. All rights reserved.Proprietary Information16
