We would recommend selecting Delay and amending the Start Time for 2 reasons:
- You give the logger time to cool down so the readings don’t start with a big high-temperature spike
- It makes it easier for you to read the data if the Start Time is set so the readings start from the next hour or half-hour
.....click Finish
8. Click OK, unplug the data logger from your computer and place it into the middle of your fridge
