Digital data logger applications and uses
Many industries and business must monitor and document
temperature. Using a digital data logger eliminates the inherent
draw backs of the older chart recorder. The digital data logger
doesn't require paper, pens or maintenance. It is all-electronic
without the moving parts of a chart recorder.
Industries that have traditionally used a digital data logger or
a chart recorder can benefit from the ThermaViewer. The
ThermaViewer does exactly the same thing as the digital data
logger and the chart recorder without the downside of having to
have a computer to view the results.
The ThermaViewer, in addition to collecting temperature or
temperature/RH measurements over a period of time also
immediately displays the results as a time-temperature graph on
its large LCD screen. It is sort of like a combination of a
digital data logger and a chart recorder.
The ThermaViewer is a digital data logger:
The ThermaViewer samples and stores in RAM memory temperature of
temperature/RH measurements. It can store over 44,000
measurements for each of its two probes. This means that it can
store over 10 months of data if a measurement is taken every ten
minutes.
The ThermaViewer is a chart recorder:
The ThermaViewer draws a chart of the sampled data on its large
LCD display. The big difference between the ThermaViewer and the
mechanical chart recorder is that the ThermaViewer draws its
chart electronically, whereas a mechanical chart recorder draws
its chart with a pen on a paper chart. This means that you never
have to replace a pen that has run out of ink or change the
chart at the end of the day, week or month.
The ThermaViewer is easier to read:
The chart created on the ThermaViewer is a line graph and not a
circular line drawn on a circular piece of paper like the chart
recorder creates. This means that any employee who has gone
through middle school will be able to tell what the chart is
telling them.
