®
The DS1923 temperature/humidity logger iButton is a
♦ 512 Bytes of General-Purpose Memory Plus 64
rugged, self-sufficient system that measures temperature
and/or humidity and records the result in a protected
memory section. The recording is done at a user-defined
rate. A total of 8192 8-bit readings or 4096 16-bit readings,
taken at equidistant intervals ranging from 1s to 273hr, can
be stored. Additionally, 512 bytes of SRAM store applica-
tion-specific information and 64 bytes store calibration
data. A mission to collect data can be programmed to
begin immediately, after a user-defined delay, or after a
temperature alarm. Access to the memory and control
functions can be password protected. The DS1923 is con-
figured and communicates with a host-computing device

single data lead and a ground return. Every DS1923 is
factory lasered with a guaranteed unique 64-bit registra-
tion number that allows for absolute traceability. The
durable stainless-steel package is highly resistant to envi-
ronmental hazards such as dirt, moisture, and shock.
Accessories permit the DS1923 to be mounted on almost
any object, including containers, pallets, and bags.
