How Data Loggers Gradually Made It into the Mainstream Market |
Posted: August 4, 2021 |
Data loggers or ACR Data Loggers have gained popularity in a variety of applications since their invention because they monitor and record changes in critical parameters over time. Data loggers are available in single channel and multiple channel variations. They can be externally powered fixed installations or portable, stand-alone units. Most stand-alone data loggers are battery-powered, allowing them to record data even when in transit and for an extended duration. When first introduced, adoption of the data logger was slow. Many criticized the new ‘technology’ expressing concerns that:
Over the years, the cost of data loggers has dramatically diminished while the technology that powers them has vastly improved. As costs have gone down, the capability of modern-day data loggers has leaped ahead of those of the past. Today, single-channel data loggers are available for as low as $25, with sophisticated, multichannel versions selling for over $1000. Modern-day data loggers now offer: Virtually unlimited data storage (at least as much as you will ever need).
The modern-day, solid state data logger comes with advanced microprocessors to process data, state of the art sensors to collect data, and internal memory for storing data. Users can interface a data logger directly with their computer and use sophisticated software for viewing and analyzing purposes. A data logger is a standalone solution that can work independently from larger traditional data acquisition systems, providing an ideal audit solution. Data loggers accept many different types of measurement inputs. You can also find ‘multi-function/multi-channel data loggers’ in the market that accept two or more different input parameters such as humidity and temperature or pressure and temperature. The most common types of input include:
