Data Loggers

What is Data Logging?

Data logging is the measuring and recording of physical or electrical parameters over a period of time. Data loggers are used in a variety of applications such as in-vehicle data logging, environmental monitoring, structural health monitoring, and machine condition monitoring. Common measurements include temperature, strain, voltage, current, pressure, force, and acceleration.

These capabilities introduce several advantages over traditional data-logging methods.
