Addition of French, Japanese, Portuguese and
Simplified Chinese
We are delighted to announce that French, Japanese, Portuguese and Simplified Chinese have been
added to the list of display languages for LogTag® Analyzer version 3.1. This brings the list of fully
supported languages to 8:
l English
l French (introduced in version 3.1r5)
l German
l Japanese (introduced in version 3.1r7)
l Russian
l Portuguese (introduced in version 3.1r9)
l Simplified Chinese (introduced in version 3.1r7)
l Spanish
We would not be able to offer these translations without the help of our distributors, so a big thank
you to all involved for making this possible.
We will endeavor to support more languages in the near future.
Resettable Min/Max Display

(supported in version 3.1r5)
LogTag® Analyzer Version 3.1 adds support for a new feature, which has been introduced in to a
number of products, such as the TRED30-16R, TREL30-16, UTRED30-16 and UTRED30-Wifi. It will
allow these models to show trip minimum/maximum temperatures, which the user can reset while
the unit is still logging.
During configuration, you can enable this new feature for TRED30-16R and TREL30-16 loggers by
selecting Show user resettable Min/Max in the Advanced logger options. If enabled, two additional
screens are shown when reviewing the statistics on the device display, which contain the minimum
and maximum temperature values recorded since the device was started. These values can be
cleared on the device, and new Min/Max temperatures will be recorded from the time the values
were cleared.
UTRED30-16 and UTRED30-Wifi automatically display these values on the display during logging;
for these two products you can Allow a user to reset trip Min/Max values in the Advanced logger
options.
For more detailed information how the values are displayed and how you can clear them please
refer to the User Guides of the respective products, available from the LogTag® Recorders website
at https://logtagrecorders.com/products.
If the option is not presented in the Advanced Options Dialogue, the product does not
support this feature.
Multi Chart Data Tab
(introduced in 3.1r5)
Data listings are now available when viewing a multi chart. Here, the data listings for the
individual loggers are combined into a single list, with each row representing one reading from a
single logger.
Marks, text and background colors are shown in the same way as for single file lists.
Readings are initially sorted and indexed chronologically, but can be sorted by clicking one of the
column headers. This can be useful, for example, when you want to look at all readings from a
specific logger. If you wish to return to the original chronological sort order, simply click the Index
column header.
You can add a comment for each reading. This comment will be stored against the reading when
you save the file. In the row for which you wish to add a comment, click in the Comment column
and type your text. Copy and Paste functions work identical to the single file data tab.
If you combine more than 10 charts into a multi chart, the data tab is not available. Dew
point readings are not shown in the multi chart data tab.
Dew Point
(implemented in version 3.1r9)
Starting with version 3.1r9, dew point can now be shown on chart, data and summary tabs.
The dew point shows as an extra line on charts for temperature and humidity loggers, such as the
HASO-8, HAXO-8 or UHADO-16.
By default, this feature is disabled. You can enable it in Options in the section about Charts.
If the dew point line is enabled, you can toggle it off and on by right-clicking anywhere on
the chart and clicking the Dew Point entry:
If the dew point line is disabled, this menu entry is not available.
Dew point lines are not currently supported on multi-charts.
For more information, please refer to the LogTag® Analyzer User Guide or the built-in help
function.
Printing Calibration Certificates
(introduced in 3.1r6)
You can now view and print a logger's factory calibration certificate directly from LogTag®
Analyzer.
You can access the certificate:
l by clicking Show Certificate from the

report tab after the logger was
downloaded
l by clicking Certificate of Calibration during

configuration of the logger
The certificate issue date is the date the logger

was first configured.
You can also access the factory calibration

certificate from the report tab when opening a
saved data file, provided the recorded data are
from the period during which the certificate was
still valid.
You will not be able to access the certificate:
l before the logger is configured for the first time. You will not be able to click Show Certificate
until the configuration is uploaded successfully to the logger
l after the logger was adjusted by a third-party calibration laboratory using LogTag® Calibrate
l if the logger is configured after the factory calibration certificate has expired
l if a logger was manufactured before 1. April 2019
l for indicator products
l on a multi chart report
If a logger was first configured with a version of LogTag® Analyzer prior to 3.1r6 you may
still be able to view the calibration certificate. Please note, however, that the certificate
date may differ from that on the certificate issued by your distributor. In this case, the
distributor issued certificate is correct.
New email and file upload options
(introduced in version 3.1r5)
Office365 email support

LogTag® Analyzer can now connect to Office365's SMTP server using your Office365 account.
To use this method, select Email settings in Edit - Options - Automation.
Complete SMTP Server, Port and SSL/TLS fields as follows:
Server Name: smtp.office365.com
Port Number: 587
Encryption Method: Enable SSL/TLS
Click Use User Name and Password and type your Office365 account email into the User Name field
and your Office365 account password into the Password field.
Figure 1: Settings for Outlook 365
If you use two factor authentication for your Microsoft account you will need to perform extra
steps, or sending emails will fail:
1. You will need to generate an app password that specifically allows connection to
applications that are unable to accept two factor authentication passwords.
This is done on the Security basics page for your Microsoft account, in the More security
options section. Create a new app password (or use the existing one). Please refer to the
Microsoft documentation on this subject if you need further assistance generating this
password.
2. Once generated, enter this password in the Password field.
You can now complete the remaining entries in this window, then test the SMTP settings by
clicking Send Test Email .
Settings when connecting via SFTP

SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) creates an FTP link using a secure data stream. In addition to
authentication via Username and Password, LogTag® Analyzer offers authentication via a
Public/Private Key Pair.
If you wish to know more about asymmetric cryptography please refer to one of the many
books or articles available on the topic.
When selecting Password, you provide the same details as you would for a standard FTP
connection, except that the default port is now 22.
When selecting Private Key, the entries change to allow you to specify the key pair for the
authentication.
The key pair is provided via one of three methods:
1. They key pair is generated on the SFTP server, and the public key is added to the list of
authorized keys that the server allows by the server administrator.
You will need to obtain and import the private key into LogTag® Analyzer. To do this, click Load Key...
and browse to the private key file you have received. LogTag® Analyzer accepts OpenSSH
and PuTTYGen keys. If the key was sent to you in OpenSSH format the file name may not
have a file extension, and may not be displayed in the file explorer window that opens after
you click Load key... . In this case, click the down arrow next to Private Key File and select All
files.
The key may be protected by a password. You can enter this password in the Key Password
field.
Note: If the key is protected by a password, you must enter this in the password
field before you load the key, or you will receive an error message.
You should now be able to test your connection.
2. The key pair is generated by LogTag® Analyzer and the private key is instantly added to
LogTag® Analyzer.
Generate the key pair by clicking Generate keys . If you wish to protect the private key with a
password enter it before generating the key.
A file explorer window opens and you are asked to save the public key to a file. Browse to a
suitable location, enter the name for the key and click Save .
Forward this file to the administrator of the SFTP server, so you can be included in the list of
authorized users. LogTag® Analyzer generates a 2014-bit RSA key (stronger keys can be
generated via method 3).
We recommend you create a backup copy of the private key and store it in a safe location. To
do this, click anywhere in the private key field and press CTRL-A, then CTRL-C to copy the
key to the clipboard. Press the Windows button ( ) on your keyboard, type notepad and
press Enter. Press CTRL-V to insert the contents of the clipboard. Save the file to a private
location on your PC. Enter "yourkeyname.ppk" (including the quotation marks) as the file
name to save it as a Private PuTTY Key.
Testing your connection cannot be done until the server administrator has advised you that
the key has been added to the list of authorized users.
3. A third-party program is used to generate they key pair, such as PuTTYgen or SSH-keygen.
This would require you to generate the key pair, save send the public key to the server
administrator and import the private key into LogTag® Analyzer with the method described
above.
Please discuss any further issues with your network administrator.
Improvements
As always, we have made some improvements and corrected some issues from previous versions. A
selection of these can be found here. Please refer to the release notes for a full list of changes.
Details for each feature can be found in the LogTag®Analyzer User Guide or via the built-in Help.
Improved time entry in configuration and profile dialogues

We received a lot of feedback from customers, unhappy with the way times are entered. We have
listened, and have now implemented the same simple entry as was present in LogTag®Analyzer
version 2:
Select seconds, minutes or hours, then change the number to suit. You can click the up or down
arrows, or type a number value directly.
If you want to use a log interval such as 1 minute 30 seconds, enter the number in full
seconds.
Exporting XLS files

You can now use Save as from the File menu and select the *.xls option. This creates a file that can
be opened directly with MS Excel. It contains two tabs, one with a listing of the readings, including
index, date, time, elapsed time, events and comments, the second with the contents of the
summary tab. Files from loggers with a day summary will contain a third tab showing that
summary.
Additional Zoom values

You can now select two additional default zoom values when opening charts:
l from last download mark to the end of the recorded data

l from last inspection mark to the end of the recorded data
Hiding readings on a multi chart

You can now hide all humidity readings, or all temperature readings on a multi chart. A tick will
indicate the readings that are hidden. To show these readings again, click the entry once more.
If the temperature readings are hidden, and you click Hide Humidity Readings, the
temperature readings will be shown and the humidity readings hidden.
LogTag® Online Connection Wizard
(changed in version 3.1r9)
We have simplified the way you connect your products to the wirelss network. For up-to-date
information please view the documentation for the wizard.
Improved Chart Scaling for Humidity Loggers

We have improved the way we display a combined Humidity and Temperature chart by reducing
the overlap of the humidity and temperature graphs. This will make both graphs for HAXO-8,
HASO-8 and UHADO-16 models more readable.
Low-Battery Loggers
We have added an option so users can always block configuration of loggers with low battery. This
option can be enabled in the Automation tab of the Options window, available from the Edit menu.
Although we allow you to configure several logger models even with a low battery, so you can
maximize their use, you should enable this option, particularly if your loggers are used in
applications with long transit times.
Customizing the CSV date format

You can now customize the date format for exported CSV files. This makes it easier to integrate
the generated files with third-party applications requiring a specific format.
Prioritize download over file generation

We have removed this configuration parameter for all USB loggers. It will now always get enabled
during configuration.
Expanded Temperature Ranges

We are able to adjust the lower limit of the temperature range of UTRIX-16, USRIC-8 and USRIC-16
loggers to -30 °C for product manufactured after 1 Jan 2019 due to an upgrade in one of the
components used in those products.
Warning for unsupported configuration settings
We added more detailed information about unsupported configuration settings when using
configuration profiles or configuring multiple loggers.
When the configuration panel shows a warning, a tooltip now shows information which of the
settings cannot be applied for a specific logger, for example when configuring loggers with
different alarm capabilities:
Themes
Regrettably we had to remove the support for the selection of themes, as they were causing issues
with a number of the software's features, that we were unable to resolve.
USB Logger Description field

Until version 3.1r5, the description field in USB loggers only accepts ASCII characters due to a lack
of font support in the on-board PDF. Some clients found this too restrictive, so effective version
3.1r6, LogTag® Analyzer allows entry of Unicode characters into the description (and password)
fields. As a result, you may see unrecognizable characters in the on-board PDF file, while LogTag®
Analyzer will display the correct characters on-screen.
Bug Fixes

release. Thank you to all who have brought these to our attention. Here is a complete summary of
the changes, including improvements made.
