What is a data logger?
A data logger is an electronic device that records information over a period of time for later reference. You choose what information you need to gather and the data logger collects it. Tinytag data loggers can log temperature, relative humidity, mV, mA, voltage, pulses or counts, shocks or vibration to name a few. The data logger contains a sensor to receive the information and a computer chip to store it. Then the information stored in the data logger can be transferred to computer for further analysis.
A data logger is a solid state device used to measure and record analogue and / or digital inputs from sensors or other instruments. Typically these sensors or other instruments will themselves be measuring environmental or process parameters such as temperature, humidity, pressure, flow, level, wind speed, wind direction, and many other physical properties. A data logger is a stand alone recording device. It does not need a PC to store it’s data. There are many types of data logger. However they fall into two broad categories. 1) Small compact battery powered data logger for use in remote locations or in application where weight and space available is critical 2) Large multi channel data logger, usually mains powered to store large amounts of data from many external sensors and inputs.
A data logger (or datalogger), commonly referred to as a ‘HOBO’, is an electronic instrument that records measurements (temperature, relative humidity, light intensity, on/off, open/closed, voltage, pressure and events) over time. Typically, data loggers are small, battery-powered devices that are equipped with a microprocessor, data storage and sensor. Most data loggers utilize turn-key data logger software on a personal computer to initiate the logger and view the collected data.
A data logger (sometimes spelled “Datalogger”) is an electronic instrument that records digital or analog measurements over time. Some data loggers are small, battery-powered devices, equipped with a microprocessor, data storage and even a sensor. Others are general purpose devices that are designed to connect to a wide range of voltges and sensor types. The terms data logging and data acquisition are often used interchangeably. However, in a historical context they are quite different. A data logger is a data acquisition system, but a data acquisition system is not necessarily a data logger.
