Data loggers check temperature and
humidity
Two battery powered USB data loggers for remote temperature and relative humidity logging.
Measurement Computing has added two battery powered models from Adept Scientific to its data logger line: the USB-501 for remote temperature logging and the USB-502 for remote temperature and relative humidity logging Both can log up to 16,382 temperature measurements in the -35 to +80C range

The USB-502 also supports up to 16,382 additional relative humidity measurements over the full 0 to 100% range.
Rates for both data loggers can be set from 10s to 12hr intervals.
The loggers plug directly into a standard PC or laptop USB port for setup and data download.
The included USB-500 Series Data Logging Application software supports both products.
This user-friendly, intuitive software is used initially to configure the loggers and program alarm thresholds, logging rates, start times and measurement units.
When the loggers are retrieved from the field, the software provides one-click access to download, display and export the data.
With the USB-500 software, the user can display time-stamped temperature, relative humidity, dew point and alarm limits on a strip chart graph.
The data can also be downloaded to a text or a .csv (comma separator values) file.
Supporting these file types lets users export the logged data to Excel.
With one mouse click, spreadsheets and reports are generated.
The software and data loggers are compatible with Windows 2000/XP.
The data loggers are packaged in a sturdy plastic shell with a cap and seal, and are about the size of a thumb.
Dust and moisture protection is supported to IP67 standards.
A long-life, replaceable lithium battery is included, which will power the logger for up to a year.
Each logger comes with a small mounting bracket that can be used in the field to hold the logger while it is collecting data.
Logger status is indicated by flashing red-green and amber LEDs.
Bill Kennedy, the firm's Vice President of Sales and Marketing, said: "Our data loggers help engineers reduce their setup time and eliminate the need to drag around expensive equipment to make field or factory measurements".
"For those customers who do not need the full capacity of our 5200 series data loggers, the 500 series provides a low-cost, simple interface to configure, download, display and export logged data". Request a free brochure from Adept Scientific ...
