The portable OM-HL-EH-TC logger is an eight-channel handheld thermometer/data logger with a large LCD display, which can take all 8 types of thermocouple inputs. This user friendly data logger is powered by an internal battery and capable of sampling, processing and displaying measurements without being connected to a computer.
With the high resolution and fast analog to digital converter (ADC), the OM-HL-EH-TC logger meet majority of data logging requirements in most industrial applications, 86000 data points each channel, real-time data monitoring & recording, sampling time 1 sec with all 8 channels on, logging interval sets from 2 secs to 24 hrs comes standard.
By using the professional OM-HL Logpro software, this data logger can save the 8-channels temperature measuring data, along with the time information (year, month, date, minute, second) into the computer and can download to Excel, PDF, and JPG formats. The end user can easily make any data or graphic analysis if needed.

nice having 8 ch, logging behavior not so nicefairly straightforward device, does what it says it should but there are some gotchas that users really should be aware of and those details should absolutely be addressed in the manual. as the previous reviewer mentioned, you CANNOT use the log feature on the unit and the remote USB connection at the same time. doing this will terminate the logging. you CAN monitor temps using the remote feature and even capture data but if you try to access another downloaded log or click away from the monitoring under way before downloading any logging that has taken place, you will lose your data. strangely, while using the USB remote connection for logging, the software did an auto download at one minute before midnight...while this could be a good idea to preserve data, unfortunately, it also disrupted and terminated logging. there is no mention of any of these aspects in the manual.
the pros of this unit are low cost for 8 channels, simple and understandable display of information and decent battery life. we did six days of testing and there are still two bars on the batt indicator, although due to the remote connection stopping the logging, it's likely that battery life would be reduced had that not happened.
these units get a bad rap due to the above mentioned issues and I can understand why. we lost a week's worth of testing due the logging getting terminated unexpectedly because of the remote USB connection issue. while I don't expect high level performance of an entry level device, a little more attention to the way data is handled should have been a priority, especially when it comes to explaining device behavior in the manual.

Misleading advertisingBought the logger even that it had bad reviews. Should have listened to others. Not to mention all the other shortcomings in other reviews, let me add another. Bought it so I could log temps every second. What is advertised as Sampling Interval of 1 second is really the meters screen update time, and the logging interval is actually how fast you can record data (which is a minimum of 2 seconds). If that is not misleading I don't know what is.

DisappointingFirst, the manual is very poorly written, as is the software interface. Although written in English the authors clearly are not native speakers. Clearly there was no review prior to release
Secondly, the sampling interval has a minimum of 1 second, a little slow for those wishing to monitor rapid changes. Even worse the minimum logging time is 2 seconds so one loses half the data at the fastest rate.
Thirdly one can't use the computer interface with the logger while trying to log-the computer stops the logging function each time.
Rather disappointing coming from Omega, with whom I usually have good experience. This product appears to have been developed by outsourcing.

A Great ValueThough I haven't used it very much yet, I have tested it by logging a few hours of temperature data and importing that data into Excel. It works very well and as advertised. I didn't even need to read most of the instructions although I will eventually. It's function is fairly self explanatory. If it is to be used in the field, it would be good to have a laptop computer available so that you can reconfigure it in place.

Decent, not pro levelGood price point for an entry level monitor. LCD font size could be a little larger/thicker
Hello, thank you for your question. This particular model does not include a calibration cert, only a certificate of conformance. If a calibration cert is required, you should order OM-HL-EH-TC-J-CAL or OM-HL-EH-TC-K-CAL depending on the thermocouple type.

We recently purchased 3 - 8 Channel data loggers. The thermometers are working fine, but the log function randomly stops working. The log function seemed to work without an issue in my office for a 3-day period, but not in the field. Any thoughts?

Are the probes or the unit itself in a high voltage or RF output location? Are the probes touching anything electrically live?Might be best to contact our tech support over the phone at 800-872-9436 to discuss this issue directly.

It is not possible to do what you asked for because the OM-HL series is not compatible with LabView.
