How to Choose a Data Logger That Suits Your Needs

How to Choose a Data Logger

Learn how to choose a data logger. Tempcon Instrumentation offers a wide range of data loggers, from low-cost to high-end systems, to meet specific needs.

How to choose a Data Logger? The first step is to determine what parameter it is that you wish to log. Many data loggers contain internal sensors that will log commonly measured parameters such as: temperature, humidity, pressure, water level, water temperature, Air Quality/CO2, voltage, current, energy (kWh) .

In some cases the data logger will have multiple internal sensors that log different parameters simultaneously. The ability to log multiple parameters requires the data logger to have multiple ‘channels’. In this way, a data logger with four channels will enable four parameters to be logged simultaneously.

Many of our data loggers that have an external channel can be used in conjunction with an external sensor to log any parameter you wish. The benefit of this is that you are able to customise a data logging system to suit your exact requirements.

Many customers choose loggers that allow remote access to the data, so that they don't have to spend time physically checking the logger and downloading data. Plus, they can receive alerts via SMS text message to their phone, or by email. Filter the loggers on our site using the 'Data Available By' tick boxes, for Bluetooth, Wireless, GSM etc.
