Elitech RC4 Temperature Data Logger with External Temperature Sensor

I originally thought the RC-4 data points could not be cleared thus the device would be filled up and became a throw away.. Not so, thanks to information received from Elitech Support. I received this via email from them: "When you export the data then click Save Parameter, the historical data will be clear and the memory will be released for continuous recording. " It works perfectly!

Bad: Not that much bad stuff, actually.> Cannot set up or start/stop logging without a computer connected> Product data says the computer is just Windows (see below)> Not ideal as a temperature monitor, as the display times out after a few secondsGood:> Worked out of the box, after putting in the battery> Elitech download site has a Mac version! It's compatible with my MacOS 10.14.2 laptop. No bugs either - I made a few changes (turn off logging and enable button stop/start, change to F from C) and they showed up in the device after I hit Save on the laptop.Note: The download file description is deceptive: for USB interface, you do not need to load the driver (an odd thing on a Mac anyway). Just run the app, and it finds and talks with the device. It may require that driver for serial interface, but that's not what I needed anyway.I would definitely buy again. I'm a HW/SW engineer, always impressed by good performance and trouble-free software - especially at a very fair price.It worked immediately

I downloaded the elitech software for my MacBook to work with the data logger as recommended by the manufacturer. However, the system does not permit me install it saying it is not approved by Apple.

I am using on a Mac, so these comments apply to that:The setup instructions are way out of date. File names in the instructions do not correspond to the download. The files I did download were flagged by my system as needing to be updated to be loaded. I did go to the CHAT which was very helpful. They walked me through it. I was a bit nervous to override the Apple warnings about the files needing updating for security reasons. But I did so as I wanted to get this working. When the program loaded it advised that there was an update, which I downloaded. I am unclear if this new update fixed the problem Apple was being cautious about?Operating wise it all seems to work fine. But the Manual is quite vague and you need to do some trial and error to really see how to set things up. I am still unclear about some things, but I am logging what I need to log and able to download to XL format, so that works for me

This equipment is not working properly
