One of the uses of the testo 174 is temperature measurement during shipping of perishable goods. It is enough to put the instrument near the product, e.g in containers and refrigerated chambers, to monitor the temperature constantly and without interruption. The free ComSoft Basic software lets you program the logger and quickly download recorded data. However, this logger is ready for practically any task temperature measurement, due to its NTC sensor, wide measurament range and compact size.
