NHS3100 Temperature Logger APP

NXP Semiconductors

About this app

The NHS3100 Temperature Logger APP demonstrates the value proposition of NXP's NHS3100 temperature logger IC, which enables quality control over the complete logistic chain.

The NHS3100 is an IC optimized for temperature monitoring and logging. With its embedded NFC interface, internal temperature sensor and direct battery connection, it supports an effective system solution with a minimal number of external components.

In the pharmaceutical domain, the NHS3100 supports the traceability of individual products from manufacture until delivery to the patient. Caregivers or patients will be able to verify that the monitored product was never outside its correct temperature range, and will thus have the expected efficacy.

The embedded ARM Cortex-M0+ offers flexibility to the users of this IC to implement their dedicated solution. On the M0+ core, it is easy to implement a temperature monitor, but this core also has the ability to record the stability profile of the drug. At any time, the chip can be interrogated to verify that the drug is still viable.

The NHS3100 contains multiple features like various power-down modes and a selectable CPU frequency up to 8 MHz for ultra-low power consumption. Users can program this NHS3100 with the industry-wide standard solutions for ARM Cortex-M0+ processors.

Ratings and reviews

This was a SUPER handy app for a local wildlife research project. because Dallas wouldn't sell us their stripped down iButton logger, it forced us to go looking and I found the NHS3100 which brought NFC into the game which ended up being a better solution. The demo temp-logging firmware along with this Android app gave them a solution with eye-popping speed and better utility than the original plan (iButtons required contact, NFC obviously needs none.) I would give this app 5 stars, but 4.75stars isn't an option and the user interface needs a little work. * Clearing the history/logging requires restarting the app which isn't noted. * The multiple swipe pages could be more obvious - make dots bigger? * The config page could use some saved configs. * The config page parameters to set the config parms could use bigger widgets for those of us with big fingers. * The data display graphs page controls could be a bit bigger (again, some of the arrows are hard to hit) But really - little tweaks for a super handy app. This one project has garnered interest from other wildlife research teams to use it for wildlife monitoring. Thanks again to the NXP team.

Not record temperature...

Hi. At first I thought it still didn't work. Then after mucking around for a few minutes I realized that I need to swipe left to see the other menus. Perhaps you may wish to add a message or icon to the app to swipe left/right to use the application. It just didn't seem obvious at first. At the moment it's just too tempting to click the app icon in the middle to start which does nothing but pop up the licence agreement. In hindsight it's likely V10 was actually working, but I just didn't click to this feature.
