Basic description of the MINILOG datalogger
MINILOG is a very accurate 8-channel temperature datalogger with a large memory capacity and a long operating time without changing the battery. The mechanical design allows its permanent placement in a humid environment even without a protective box.
The MINILOG data logger is supplied in a compact design with permanently connected cables. The number and type of connected Pt100 temperature sensors or VIRRIB volume soil moisture sensors and the required cable length are entered when ordering the device.
Connection of Pt100 temperature sensors to the datalogger
By minimizing cable connectors and terminals, the reliability of measurements in demanding working conditions is increased.
The very low current consumption of the MINILOG temperature data logger practically does not require the replacement of the built-in lithium battery for the entire life of the device. Even after 20 years of datalogger operation, less than 50% of its capacity is consumed in the normal temperature measurement mode.
Parameterization of the MINILOG datalogger and reading of recorded data is performed via the RS232 interface using the MOST program, which is common to other devices and telemetry stations manufactured by FIEDLER AMS.
Examples of using the MINILOG datalogger
The MINILOG data logger is designed primarily for accurate measurement and recording of temperatures or for monitoring the distribution of the temperature field. After minor modifications at the manufacturer, the device can also be used to measure volumetric soil moisture using VIRRIB sensors.

Measuring channels
Each datalogger recording channel can be assigned its specific name, input, number of decimal places for archiving, units of measure, measuring method and some other parameters.
The archiving interval can be set separately for each channel. The MINILOG data logger supports the transition to more frequent recording of selected quantities after exceeding the set limits (limit alarm) or after a quick change of value (gradient alarm).
For special applications, it is possible to use auxiliary calculation functions performed directly in the MINILOG datalogger and save the calculation result on a free recording channel (sum or difference between measured channels, moving sum, correction by 2nd order polynomial and some others).
The MINILOG data logger also contains control C channels for recording the battery voltage and current drawn by the connected sensors.
PC (laptop) connection under the MOST program:
M8 - RS232 connector, KP232 / M8 communication cable and USB / RS232 converter can be ordered for the device
Basic program functions of the MOST program
- Loading archived data from the MINILOG datalogger, their tabular and graphical display and saving the read data to a text file.
- Data averaging, limit value search.
- Parameterization of the MINILOG logger data.
- Reading and displaying current measured values from the connected device during sensor installation and control.
