If the information is however only available in non-electrical form, then the data logger from a special sensor combined with hardware to capture the physical measurement of data over a certain period of time, examples of such form of data logger can be the data loggers used for temperatures, voltages and accelerations.

 

Basic Details of Data Logger

 

A data logger consists of a programmable microprocessor and a storage medium, at least has one interface and one or more channels for connecting the data source such as sensors. The data acquisition is performed externally or internally via vendor specific interfaces. An internal interface is also present, if the data logger is provided with a sensor such as a temperature sensor on an unit. The data is passed directly from the sensor via the internal interface to the data logger and stored. Each data logger has at least one external interface for receiving and delivering data from or to the environment. In the industrial and mechanical environment, RS232, CAN and USB interfaces are the most commonly used.
