Thermometers that can produce digital recordings are made for commercial foodservice establishments. Like other digital thermometers, they are made with a single attached probe or with a connector to allow the user to attach different probes. The base of the tool stores temperature readings that can be read and reviewed on the digital display or downloaded to a computer to be printed. Some instruments can be programmed to take and record temperature readings at time intervals from 1 second to every 12 hours and to store several thousands readings in memory. Others can record not only temperature readings but also the date, time, and location of each reading. Some of these can store over 500 hundred readings at more then 100 locations.
