Temperature Technology

A refrigerated truck company that have recently installed TranScan temperature recorders with printing facility has just told us that the drivers now save an hour and a half each day. Before they open the doors, they print out a Delivery Ticket stating the temperatures in the compartments. This is sufficient for the reciever, the ticket is stapled to the doc's and the goods can be unloaded. With many deliveries a day, the time saving adds up.

There has now been an update to the TTEC software: version 12.0. This has a new version of the TempTecR Communication Software program that can handle the larger iButtons. The Thermochron Logger/DS1921 Communication Software has not yet been updated for these larger iButtons, but is scheduled for release later this year. There has also been a fix for an incorrect error messages for C loggers when full, and P loggers, in Graph Viewer.

There has now been an update to the TTEC software: version 11.9. This has updated drivers in it and will play nicely with Windows 7, both 32- and 64-bit. 

For those that use Thermochrons with Blue Dot Readers, you may need to plug in your Blue Dot Reader, go into Device Manager and un-install the driver directly before installing. We are more than happy to walk you through this process if you need help. Maxim has changed their driver system and these new drivers are included in software versions T-TEC v11.7 and 11.8. They do not play well with older Thermochron drivers. Those that do not use Thermochrons and Blue Dot Readers probably will see no effect. 

The new  T-TEC v11.8 no longer removes your key on installation and no longer asks for confirmation. 

Versions prior to software v11.8 seems to overwrite your key when installing. Please save a copy of your key (t-tecw.key in C:\T-TECW)! Software v11.8 will ask if you wish to allow it to overwrite on installation/update. Say 'NO!'

Very recently, we have heard of three computers, that all seem to be running Vista, that has experienced issues when going to View > Zoom.  So far, as we understand it, the program window is vertically divided into six parts, with the odd-numbered sections missing all data, and the cursor is unresponsive (no zooming is allowed).

If you have or are experiencing these problems, please contact us and let us know. We are working on it, and it has only just been brought to our attention. Please bear with us, this may take some time.
