Abstract

A portable temperature data recorder for temporarily storing plural sets of temperature data representative of temperatures at a single location or at different locations, and automatically transferring the stored temperature data to a data processing unit. The portable recorder has a connector for connection thereof to the data processing unit. The portable recorder may further have a connector for connection thereof to a stationary temperature detector or thermometer installed at each measurement location. Alternatively, the temperature recorder incorporate a temperature detector for measuring the temperatures at the measurement locations. A clock circuit may be provided in the portable recorder, so that the temperature data may be stored together with measurement time data. The temperature detector may be a radiation thermometer provided at the measurement location, or built in the portable recorder.
