USB-based analogue input has advantages
The USB-1616FS is a new high-speed, USB-based analogue input interface, and is the first product in the new Measurement Advantage family.
Both the USB-501 and USB-502 log up to 16,382 temperature measurements in the -35 to +80C range.
The USB-502 additionally supports up to 16,382 additional relative humidity measurements over the full 0 to 100% range.
Rates for both dataloggers can be set from 10s to 12h 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, program alarm thresholds, logging rates, start times, and measurement units.
When the loggers are retrieved from the field, the software provides simple one-click access to download, display and export the data.
With the included USB-500 Data Logging Application software, the user can display time-stamped temperature, relative humidity, dew point and alarm limits on a powerful strip chart graph.
The data can also be downloaded to a text or a CSV (comma separator values) file.
Supporting these file types allows users to easily export the logged data to Excel.
With one mouse click, spreadsheets and reports are easily generated.
The software and USB-500 series dataloggers are compatible with Windows 2000/XP.
The USB-501 and USB-502 dataloggers are packaged in a sturdy plastic shell with a cap and seal, and are about the sise of a thumb.
Dust/moisture protection is supported to IP67 standards.
A long-life, replaceable lithium battery is included that will power the logger up to a full 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.
The USB-501 temperature-only datalogger is offered for $59.
The USB-502 for temperature, relative humidity and dew point sells for $79.
