DataTrace® Pro Software
Powerful regulatory compliant software for better insights into your critical data.
-
Data Logger Software
DataTrace Pro (DT Pro) Software is the heart of the DataTrace MPRF and MPIII process monitoring solutions. From the creation of process reports, analyzing and understanding data, and complying with your regulatory requirements, DT Pro gives you greater insight and productivity.
Powerful Reporting Capabilities
In the food processing industry, we need lethality data to know whether the product is safe to eat. All of this information can now be graphed and displayed all on one report with just one extra click for a quick, easy-to-read review of the process for anyone to check the results.
The robust reporting capabilities of the DT Pro software provide beautiful reports with graphs and calculations such as lethality, pre- and post-calibration verification displays of loggers before and after the process, and a placement view of the data loggers.
In Software Pre- and Post-Calibration Verification
There is a requirement to perform As Found results before use in EO, because once the gasses have affected the sensor, you need to prove that it was in calibration the next time it is used, right before use.
The software offers a “set it and forget it” type of calibration with industry standard controls and the ability to assess to a certain specified tolerance. It can calibrate loggers directly in the software and communicate with industry standard or leading metrology equipment. Please note, it is still recommended that you receive factory calibration once per year, but performing it in house simplifies the process.
21CFR Part 11 Compliance
When it comes to 21CFR Part 11 compliance, if you are not compliant, you cannot use the data loggers and software, so it is imperative to know what regulations you need to meet and whether your software is compliant. 21CFR Part 11 compliance is great for pharmaceutical communities with regulatory compliance needs under the FDA that need to show they are meeting requirements on a regular basis. DT Pro software is 21CFR Part 11 compliant and has the ability to maintain regulatory compliance while processing and handling data.

Software should only be downloaded in accordance with your company’s existing policies for software version control. If your company is required to comply with USFDA 21 CFR 11, GAMP5, EU Annex 11 or otherwise requires a formal validation and documentation packages, please consult with your organization’s Quality Assurance department prior to downloading software installation packages or upgrades.
Mesa Laboratories, Inc. provides formal validation and documentation packages at benchmark intervals and major revision changes. If your company is required to comply with USFDA 21 CFR 11, GAMP5, EU Annex 11 or otherwise requires a formal validation and documentation packages; please consult with one of our DataTrace Sales representative to purchase the Validation package.
Please note that Microsoft no longer supports Windows 8 (or older) or SQL Server 2008. For optimized functionality, Mesa Labs highly recommends that DT Pro is run on a Windows 10 or newer PC. (Among other benefits, the database size limit of SQL Server 2017 Express has been increased to 10GB, as compared to only 4GB in the 2005 SQL Server Express version.) If this is not possible, please follow the workaround below to enable DT Pro version 1.3.1.
- Download and install the older DT Pro version 1.2 build 20140116 “Full Installer.” This version will install the older SQL Server 2005 Express, which is compatible down to Windows XP.
- Ensure that DT Pro v1.2 was installed appropriately and will start up and run successfully.
- Next, run the DT Pro version 1.3.1 “Upgrade Installer.” The upgrade remains reliant on components of your existing install, and thereby leaves the older SQL Server 2005 Express in place.
