USER GUIDE Introducing the ChartReader For product code and serial number information please refer to the bottom label of your ChartReader. Multiple Downloads The ChartReader Memory versions EJ-CR-II, EJ-CR-MEM, MN-CR-MEM, EA-CR and EICR-MEM support Multiple Downloads. This means more than one logger data set can be downloaded to, stored in, and printed from the ChartReader. This feature allows the ChartReader to be used in an application where there are multiple loggers in the field.
USER GUIDE Latest CPU Technology The ChartReader incorporates the technology of a new breed of high performance 16bit microprocessor with more on board memory. Flash Memory Version The low memory versions (EJ-CR, EJ-CR-16, MN-CR) store logger data information in RAM and will therefore lose currently stored logs if the battery fails before the user prints the logger information (or downloads the information to a computer system).
USER GUIDE Overview of ChartReader Keys Turning On Your ChartReader To turn your ChartReader on, press the ON button on the ChartReader’s keyboard. Note that this button also acts as CANCEL, OFF, and is part of all advanced key combinations. The indicator light above the ON key will alight when the ChartReader is activated.

USER GUIDE Advanced Key Combinations + Printing Data Block Summary This will print a summary showing the memory status (bytes free and used) and the number of data blocks that are currently retained. Each data block contains the data that was downloaded from a logger.
USER GUIDE L Multiple Downloads - Example The following is an example of how to use the multiple logger download feature of the ChartReaders with 1MB FLASH memory. The example is based on a warehouse with several cool rooms that are furnished with one logger each to record the temperature. On a regular basis the graph or out of specification readings have to be printed. Note: Multiple downloads is enabled by default.
