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. 
 
  
Reading Data from a Logger
 
 
To read a Junior or iLog data logger, slide the logger into the ChartReader’s attached 
interface and press the read button. For reading a MINI 2000 or Intelligent Mini logger, plug 
the ChartReader to logger interface MN-CR-INT or EA-CR-INT delivered with the 
ChartReader into the logger and the ChartReader. The indicator light above the button will 
slowly flash during the read process and a series of beeps should be heard from the logger or 
ChartReader (depending on model). At the completion of the read, the ChartReader sounds a 
beep and the indicator remains ON.  
 
The reading process takes between 30 seconds to several minutes depending on the amount 
of logged data stored in the logger. Once the data is read, it is stored as a ‘data block’ in the 
ChartReader’s memory until deleted by the user through the user software or by pressing the 
correct key combination on the ChartReader. If the ChartReader cannot communicate with 
the logger, the indicator flashes more rapidly, and a series of long beeps are sounded. 
 
  
Chart Printing
 
 
To print a chart (or graph) of logged data, press the chart key. 
This will print from the latest data block stored in memory (the last logger read). 
The chart is created according to internal ChartReader specification (see options) and 
typically scales the graph either to the full range of the logger’s sensor(s) or to the upper and 
lower specifications retrieved from the logger. The ChartReader will print approximately 4000 
readings in three minutes so an 8000 readings chart will take 6 minutes to print. Chart printing 
a humidity logger (EJ-HS-B) may take longer due to humidity calculations. 
 
 
Printing out of Specification Readings
 
 
To print a list of out of specification readings press the “out of specification” button.  
This will print from the latest data block stored in memory (the last logger read). 
The printout lists all readings outside the upper or lower specifications retrieved from the 
logger. Users also have the ability to configure their ChartReader to print out all of the 
readings via ESCORT Console software. 
 
 
Re-Arming Loggers with a Magnetic/Button Start
 
 
By pressing the re-arm button of the ChartReader, will stop the logger’s current program 
status and set up the logger for magnetic/button start. 
Logging parameters are unchanged (i.e. number of logs, logging interval, specification etc).  
The ChartReader beeps at completion to indicate successful re-arming. If the re-arm is 
incomplete or unsuccessful the ChartReader will sound a long beep and flash the indicator 
above the re-arm button. The rearm feature can be disabled using the ESCORT user 
software.
