Data Loggers Data loggers are used to pile up measurement values of different parameters. Here, you will find a wide range of data loggers, including water resistant data loggers. We also offer diverse software versions for Windows OS to be used with our data loggers. It is very easy to establish diverse parameters in data loggers. Data loggers log 100 different series and offer the possibility to pile up results over a long period of time. Data loggers like the PCE-T390 series can measure and record 4 different temperature entries simultaneously. They are among some of our most popluar products. There is also a wide range of data loggers to be used in many different sectors to measure: sound, temperature, humidity, light, gas, air, and many more. There are also stationary and hand-held instrument with integrated data loggers. You will find optional accessories as well as ISO calibration certificates available for our data loggers. If you can't find the data loggers you are looking for, please contact us and we will help you find the best solution to suit your needs by calling our offices on: +44 (0)2380 987030 and our technical staff will advise you regarding our measuring instruments. Our engineers and technicians will be happy to help you with the data loggers, and of course, with the other products in the field of regulation and control, and scales and balances.
Technical specifications for our Data Loggers can be found at the following links:
Some data logger models are used to establish air and sea transport protocols. On the contrary, other data loggers models are used to measure and control the industrial production sector or even the agricultural sector. So data loggers can be re-calibrated or not depending on how accurate they need to be. Calibrated models can be continuously recalibrated using optional calibration systems or they can be regularly sent to our company to carry out a calibration and obtain a certification of calibration.

General comments
Data loggers are formed by a programmable processor, data memory, input ports for several sensors to be connected, etc. Data loggers have to have their own energy supply (by means of a battery or an accumulator). Measurement details are received through the sensor. An analogue to digital converter (ADC) turns the details into electronic data to record them inside the memory which can be then transferred to a memory card, an EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), a hard disc or other such device. When data is recorded the loss of details is prevented and a permanent copy can be created. Registered data can be transferred by means of the many ports of the data loggers (RS-232, USB, LAN, Bluetooth) to be analysed by the software. Depending on the different measurements, data loggers can have one or more channels connected to several sensors simultaneously. Data loggers are used when long term measurements are taken without any personal control on the site. So, data loggers are mainly used in field tests, transport control (in lorries), food industry test, to analyse error systems (in oscillatory tensions or in a system), in quality studies, research and development. Apart from that, data loggers are also useful for private use.
Usage
All data loggers (both small size loggers and the others with data loggers function) can be connected to a PC or a computer for the their configuration with the Windows Operating System (real time, measurement quote, start, stop). Not all data loggers can be programmed in this way, so it is very important to read the technical specifications carefully. Data loggers first start with the measurement to store data in their internal memory. When the estimated time slot is achieved or the internal memory is full, then the data loggers is disconnected. Once this occurs, you will connect them to a PC to read and analyse measurement details.

Indications to use the humidity parameter
You must bear in mind that many of the data loggers sensors can suffer changes with the time, specially humidity sensors. These changes have a negative influence dealing with accuracy Data loggers: humidity sensors capacity. Some data loggers, for instance the Hobo ones are calibrated only for a limited period of time (2 years approximately) so once this time has passed, these data loggers cannot be used again. Nearly all data loggers models can be recalibrated at any time by means of an optional humidity standard. However data loggers can be calibrated to meet the DIN ISO 9000 to be used for several years. Data loggers can be included in your set of internal testing tools once they are calibrated to ISO 9000 standards. Annual recalibration can be performed in PCE Instruments to keep all your instruments accurate and up to date.
Note: When Data loggers are used with different input channels, their maximum memory capacity only refers to one channel. If you use data loggers with four input channels, maximum memory capacity has to be divided into four parts (example: four channels with a max. memory of 32000 Byte is 8000 Byte every channel).
Video of use with Data Loggers
This anemometer comes with data logger function. The measurement values can be stored directly in the memory of the data logger and can be transmitted to the PC to evaluated later if requested (English software and data cable are included in delivery). Hence you can carry out measurement ranges on-site as well as analysis of the air measurements in the office. Thus you save time for the tedious notes of the values and avoid transmission errors. The external impeller (on 1.5 m cable) increases the mobility and flexibility with an exact measuring of air velocity. This anemometer with data logger belongs to the basic equipment of a ventilation technician for balancing and monitoring of ventilation systems. The lifetime of battery amounts approx. 50 hours with a battery, a current strength of 300 mA/h. If you wish to take a long-term record with the anemometer with data logger, which takes longer than 2 days, you have to use the battery pack or power adapter in these data loggers.
