ShockLog and g-View Selection Guide

If you do not have any non-operating shock specifications for the product you are shipping then use the guide below to assist with your selection.
This is a guide only and not intended to replace actual testing of the product’s shipping properties prior to shipment.
This merely allows you to select an appropriate scale, which then allows the Shocklog or g-View to test the products’ shock profile.
A standard rule of thumb to apply to select an appropriate scale setting as shown below and should be related to the type of product that is to be shipped or the mass of the product.

FAQs

How do I know which ShockLog product may be the most suitable?

If the manufacturer of the product has non-operating shock specifications this will assist greatly with which unit to select as you will have the known impact or vibration levels that are unacceptable.
If the above information is not available then we can determine which product may be the most suitable based on the mass of the product. The selection best suited would depend on how much information you want to use.
If you require GPS when an event occurs and/or Tilt and Roll monitoring and/or vibration monitoring then you will have to use the ShockLog 298

What is in the ShockLog accessory kit?

The ShockLog accessory kit contains the following items:
1 – ShockLog Software CD (Containing software and user manual)
1 – Quick Start Manual
1 – USB Communication Cable
2 – AA Lithium Batteries
1 – iButton Set (START, STOP, DOWNLOAD, SETUP and CLOCK)
1 – iButton USB Connection BUS and Cable

What is the difference between a slot and a summary?

Slots are user-defined periods of time in which various criteria will be recorded.
Summaries provide an overview of what was recorded by the ShockLog in a given period of time (the summary interval). A summary records the number of warnings/alarms and the maximum recorded slot values in the summary interval time period.

What is the battery life for a ShockLog unit?

The battery life of a ShockLog unit is dependent upon the type of unit, configuration settings, and the type of batteries being used. With the recommended lithium battery, the ShockLog can have a 9 to 18 month battery life.

What is an event, and how do I record it?

Events are graphical representations of the most severe impacts that the ShockLog is monitoring.
These are set up in the Events tab of the Setup window in the software as warnings and alarms g levels.

What is included in the magnetic mounting kit?

The magnetic mounting kit contains the mounting plate only. The four metal bolts and four flex-lock connectors are included with each ShockLog 298 sold.

I downloaded the data from my unit, and it only recorded slot and summary data for part of the trip. There isn't a problem with the batteries in the unit. Why did this happen?

When configuring your ShockLog, it is important to have the slots and the summaries last longer than the duration of the journey. These settings can be configured in the Slots tab of the Setup window. In Version 10.2 or newer of the software, you can use the Journey Duration button to determine what these settings should be.

How does my ShockLog software license work?

ShockWatch software licensing is intended for a single computer. If you need additional seats or additional computers to use the software, please contact ShockWatch.
Also, please note the following when entering the license code (found inside the software CD case): The code begins with the letters “SW”
The license code will not contain the letter “O”; these are zeros (0)

When I connect the ShockLog to my computer using the USB connection, it appears to be running, but when I disconnect it, none of the lights are flashing. Is the unit working?

If no LEDs are flashing after you have sent a setup to the ShockLog and have unplugged the unit, then there may not be any batteries in the unit. Make sure that batteries are installed in the ShockLog unit before sending the setup to the equipment.

When I use the Download iButton, will I obtain all the data from the ShockLog?

Please keep in mind that when the Download iButton is used, no data is erased from the ShockLog unit. Only a limited amount of information is transferred from the ShockLog with the iButton. Primarily, the information obtained is the report displayed on the main screen of the software. Even the events information is limited to the most severe events which have occurred.

Why is the software prompting for the Licence Key each time it is launched?

If you are prompted to enter the Licence key every time you launch the software you will have to do the following to save the licence in the registry:
1. Close Software
2. Right click on the ShockLog icon on the desktop
3. Select “Run as Administrator”
4. Enter the licence key again
5. Close the software
6. Open the software and you should not be prompted to enter the Licence key anymore
