Q: Can I continue to collect data while using another application or when my iOS/Android device is in sleep mode?
A: As long as the Go Wireless Temp probe remains on and is in range of the mobile device, the data-collection app will continue to collect data in the background.
Q: Can you program the Go Wireless Temp probe to log data offline?
A: The Go Wireless Temp probe does not log data offline.
Q: Can I use the Go Wireless Temp while it is underwater?
A: We have designed and tested the Go Wireless Temp to be able to be submerged under 1 m of water for 30 min. However, water greatly attenuates the signal so getting live readings may be difficult in depths greater than a few inches.
Q: Can I start collecting data, submerge it in water, then retrieve the data after data collection is complete?
A: The Go Wireless Temp probe does not log data offline so it cannot be used to collect data this way.
Q: Can I collect data while the battery is charging?
A: Yes, charging does not interfere with data collection.
Q: Can I collect data “wired” to a computer using the charging cable?
A: No, the charging cable will only charge the unit. There is no sensor data communication via this cable.
Q: Can I change units?
A: See How do I change units for Go Wireless Temp?
