A common data logging application is to measure voltage and current flowing into or out of a piece of equipment, such as a user monitoring current in wind turbines. Depending on the levels involved, some data logger models can directly measure DC voltage and current.
What can be recorded by data loggers?
Applications of data logging include:
- Unattended weather station recording (such as wind speed / direction, temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation).
- Unattended hydrographic recording (such as water level, water depth, water flow, water pH, water conductivity).
- Unattended soil moisture level recording.
What is a voltage data logger?
Current and voltage data loggers are used when you want to monitor and record voltage and amperage levels. They are available in AC and DC versions as well as for single and multiphase applications.
What is current logger?
Current Data Loggers allow you to monitor single and multi-phase current levels for monitoring energy consumption or for monitoring 3rd party sensor outputs.
What does a digital data logger provide?
Data loggers are electronic devices which automatically monitor and record environmental parameters over time, allowing conditions to be measured, documented, analysed and validated. The data logger contains a sensor to receive the information and a computer chip to store it.
How does a digital data logger work?
Data loggers use a microprocessor, an internal memory for data storage, and a sensor to collect data. Data loggers can either interface with a computer and use software to view and analyze the collected data or be used as a stand-alone device with a local interface or connect wirelessly to a device.
What is data logger used for?
How much data does the data logger measure?
When used with a current clamp, this standalone data logger measures and stores up to 127,232 a.c. and d.c. current readings over a 0 to 1000A d.c. measurement range (0 to 723A for a.c.). In ‘energy monitoring’ mode, this data is converted into power, energy (using a user defined voltage value) and cost (using a user supplied energy unit cost).
How do I set up a data logger?
The user can easily set up the logger and view downloaded data by plugging the data logger into a PC’s USB port and using the free software. The software has provision for a clamp scaling factor (the clamp input-output ratio of amps to millivolts).
What does the high contrast LCD on a data logger show?
The high contrast LCD can show a variety of current, power, energy and cost information. At the touch of a button, the user can cycle between the most recent, maximum and minimum measurement values. The data logger is fitted with 2 replaceable AA batteries. How do I replace the battery in my logger?
