Data logger products and how to use them.

Dual-Channel Wireless Temperature Data Loggers

Data Logger > Wireless DATAQ Instruments is pleased to introduce the EL-WIFI-DTC and EL-WIFI-DTP+. These dual-channel wireless (802.11b compliant) temperature data loggers are capable of buffering over 1,000,000 temperature readings and transmitting that data to a PC via a WiFi router. The EL-WIFI-DTC can acquire temperature from -270 to 1300°C (-454 to 2372°F) using J, Read More

EL-USB Battery Issues

Data Logger > USB > EL-USB We’ve noticed an uptick in the number of customers reporting that the batteries included with their EL-USB series data loggers are ‘dead on arrival’. The battery included with most EL-USB series loggers is a 3.6V (½AA cell) lithium metal battery. The problem can occur when a battery is unused Read More

Sub-zero Thermocouple Measurements

Data Logger > Thermocouple “One of the best kept secrets in the instrumentation world is that sub-zero thermocouple measurements require thermocouples that are specially qualified for that application.” Looking at the specs of a typical thermocouple data acquisition system might be a little misleading when it comes to interpreting temperature measurement capability. For example Figure 1 is a Read More

Changes to the Built-in Temperature Alert Server

Data Logger > Wireless > Temperature Alert There have been some changes to the server, built into the Temperature Alert TM-WIFI350 LAN-based temperature and humidity data logger. In the past, when typing the IP address of your TM-WIFI logger into a web browser, you were directed to ‘Developer Mode’. In Developer Mode you can set alarms, Read More

Flood Sensor for Temperature Alert

Data Logger > Wireless > Temperature Alert The AC-FLDRJ is a flood sensor designed for use with the Temperature Alert TM-WIFI-350 LAN-based temperature and humidity data logger. Measuring just 2.5” x 3.25” x 1”, simply lay the sensor on a flat surface to detect the presence of conductive, non-flammable liquids. Built-in feet on the bottom Read More

WiFi Range Considerations

Data Logger > Wireless We carry several WiFi products and we’re often asked about their range. In other words, how far from the WiFi router can the data loggers be located? Unfortunately, this is like asking us to forecast the weather next Sunday. There are simply too many variables for us to predict how well any WiFi Read More

EL-WIFI-Alert Alarm Indicator

Data Logger > Wireless > EL-WiFi Series The stand-alone EL-WIFI-Alert alarm indicator is an add-on for EL-WIFI series temperature and humidity data loggers. The EL-WIFI-Alert produces an audible and visual alert when an alarm level on any of your EL-WIFI temperature and humidity data loggers (installed on the same wireless network) is breached. Note that Read More

4-20 mA Measurement Resolution

Data Acquisition > 4-20mA Current Loop Don’t overlook a vital component that affects 4-20 mA measurement success: Measurement resolution. Additional Reading: 4-20 mA Shunt Resistor and Current Loop Data Acquisition Products Measurements from sensors that have a 4-20 mA output are very common. Customers always ask how to connect them to a data logger or data acquisition Read More

Data Logger > Wireless Data Loggers > EL-WiFi Series Users can manage and monitor any number EL-WIFI series instruments remotely… Lascar’s ‘Files Thru the Air’ technology allows those using EL-WIFI series instruments to store data to the cloud. Users can manage and monitor any number EL-WIFI series instruments remotely, using a web browser on their PC Read More

Boot Your Graphtec Data Logger in USB Drive Mode

Data Logger > USB > Graphtec An oft-overlooked feature of Graphtec data loggers is the ability to boot into USB Drive Mode. As the name implies, USB Drive Mode allows you to access, save, copy and delete files from your data logger, just as you would with a USB flash drive.   USB Drive Mode Read More
