The Thermochron®iButton®devices (DS1921H/Z) are rugged, self-sufficient systems that measure temperature and record the result in a protected memory section. The recording is done at a user-defined rate, both as a direct storage of temperature values as well as in the form of a histogram. Up to 2048 temperature values taken at equidistant intervals ranging from 1 to 255 minutes can be stored. The histogram provides 64 data bins with a resolution of 0.5°C. If the temperature leaves a user-programmable range, the DS1921H/Z will also record when this happened, for how long the temperature stayed outside the permitted range, and if the temperature was too high or too low. Additional 512 bytes of general-purpose battery-backed SRAM allow storing information pertaining to the object to which the DS1921H/Z is associated. Data is transferred serially via the 1-Wire®protocol, which requires only a single data lead and a ground return. Every DS1921H/Z is factory-lasered with a guaranteed unique electrically readable 64-bit registration number that allows for absolute traceability. The durable stainless steel package is highly resistant to environmental hazards such as dirt, moisture, and shock. Accessories permit the DS1921H/Z to be mounted on almost any object, including containers, pallets, and bags.

The iButton®temperature loggers (DS1922L/T) are rugged, self-sufficient systems that measure temperature and record the result in a protected memory section. The recording is done at a user-defined rate. A total of 8192 8-bit readings or 4096 16-bit readings taken at equidistant intervals ranging from 1s to 273hrs can be stored. In addition to this, there are 512 bytes of SRAM for storing application-specific information and 64 bytes for calibration data. A mission to collect data can be programmed to begin immediately, or after a user-defined delay or after a temperature alarm. Access to the memory and control functions can be password protected. The DS1922L/T is configured and communicates with a host computing device through the serial 1-Wire®protocol, which requires only a single data lead and a ground return. Every DS1922L/T is factory-lasered with a guaranteed unique 64-bit registration number that allows for absolute traceability. The durable stainless-steel package is highly resistant to environmental hazards such as dirt, moisture, and shock. Accessories permit the DS1922L/T to be mounted on almost any object, including containers, pallets, and bags.While all iButton data loggers are calibrated/validated against NIST traceable reference devices, Analog Devices offers aweb applicationto generate validation certificates for the DS1922L/T data loggers. Input is an iButton registration number (or list of numbers) and the output is a validation certificate in PDF format.ApplicationsHigh-Temperature Logging (Process Monitoring, Industrial Temperature Monitoring)Temperature Logging in Cold Chain, Food Safety, Bio Science, and Pharmaceutical and Medical Products
