Datalogger devices, also called data loggers, are electronic devices that record the data that occur within a certain period of time and store them on the internet, allowing these records to be reported when necessary.
How Data Logger Works
Dataloggers can operate with a constant supply or with the battery inside.
There are dataloggers that can record continuously as well as models that are set to a certain time interval. In general, the datalogger records the data from the devices on the database on the internet. During recording, if the internet is interrupted or if there is a different problem, it prevents loss by storing the data during this process.
Temperature, humidity, pressure, AC voltages, AC currents, DC voltages, DC currents, fault codes of the devices, etc. are stored in the device memory together with the date the data is received.
This data stored in the datalogger memory can be analyzed with an analysis program or saved in PDF, TXT, etc. format.
What Does Datalogger Do?
Datalogger devices can be used wherever needed for the desired period of time according to the recording conditions. It can be used in solar inverters, white goods, cold chain applications, pharmacy cabinets, organ transplantation vehicles, blood centers, pumping stations, and anywhere with sensitive data measurement limits. The datalogger is started with a switch and placed in the environment where data is to be taken, when the data acquisition process is finished, the device is connected to the computer via a cable or wireless connection or directly to the computer and the data is downloaded. The received data is analyzed with the interface program of the device or with a different program and a report is generated.
Data loggers benefit users in two ways. It saves the time and expense of sending someone to take measurements in a remote location. It also allows measurements to be made anywhere, even during transportation. An additional benefit is the higher data density that can be achieved by installing a data logger. A data logger collects more reliable measurements without human intervention.
There are many different types of data loggers available. These range from single-channel devices with sensors to multi-channel data loggers that can acquire data from different sensors over long periods of time. Data logging software provides the ability to configure acquisition parameters and format data outputs.
