What Is a Wireless Data Logger?
A data logger is an electronic instrument that acquires measurement data and records it for future use. Common data logger measurement types include temperature, pressure, current, velocity, strain, and displacement. Data loggers use sensors to convert these physical phenomena and stimuli into electrical signals, such as voltage or current. The electrical signals are then digitized into binary data, analyzed by software, and stored on a PC hard drive or other storage media. Wireless technology is revolutionizing the way engineers and scientists collect and log data by extending data loggers to new applications where cables are inconvenient or uneconomical. Wireless is inherently more flexible than a traditional cabled solution because it helps eliminate the cost and overhead associated with wired measurement applications.
