Data Logger Stores 4,080 Temperature Readings

Measurement Computing's USB-501-LT data logger, available in the UK from Adept Scientific, measures and stores up to 4,080 temperature readings over the -10C to +50C (+14 to +122F) measurement range. It offers 15-minute, 30-minute, one-hour and two-hour sampling intervals and a battery life of one month (continuous use). When the button is pressed, a red/green light-emitting diode indicates whether or not a preset alarm level has been breached.

The user can configure the data logger and download the stored data by plugging the module straight into a PC's USB port and running the purpose-designed software under Windows 2000 or XP. The data can then be graphed, printed and exported to other applications. The data logger is supplied with a battery installed. The USB-500 Series Data Logger Application software runs in Windows 2000 and XP (Home Edition and Professional Edition).

It allows the user to configure the USB-501-LT logger and download and display the data graphically in a strip chart. The software also enables export to Excel. Other features include a USB interface for setup and data download; two user-programmable alarm thresholds; and dimensions of 68 x 18 x 9.4mm (2.7 x 0.7 x 0.4in). The Measurement Computing product range is supplied and supported in the UK by Adept Scientific.
