Compact and portable data logging systems that have universal inputs to connect to a wide range of weather sensors to capture and record environmental data in applications such as pollution monitoring, rainfall measurement and more. Independent data loggers monitor data from weather stations and many weather sensors including rain gauges, barometers, pyrometers, etc. To obtain detailed knowledge of climatic conditions, including very accurate temperature readings. These sensors measure typical and special parameters such as temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, wind speed / direction, water level and more, providing real-time information of conditions and capturing historical data. These data loggers are durable, weather resistant and are available in weatherproof enclosures to keep logging in the worst weather conditions.
Technically speaking, a data logger is any device that can be used to store data. This includes many data acquisition devices such as plug-in cards or serial communication systems that use a computer as a real-time data logging system. Nowadays, wireless transmitters are also able to convert a regular smartphone (or tablets) into a mobile data logger.
Most instrument manufacturers, however, consider a data logger a stand-alone device that can read various types of electrical signals and store the data in the internal memory for later download to a computer.
The advantage of data loggers is that they can operate independently of a computer, unlike many other types of data acquisition devices. Data loggers are available in various shapes and sizes. The range includes inexpensive single-channel, fixed-function recorders to more powerful programmable devices capable of handling hundreds of inputs.
