Measurement Computing's USB-501-LT data logger measures and stores up to 4,080 temperature readings over the -10 to +50 °C (+14 to 122 °F) measurement range, with a fixed 30-minute sampling rate, and a battery life of one month (continuous use). When the button is pressed, a red/green LED indicates whether or not a preset alarm level has been reached.
The user can easily configure the data logger, and download the stored data by plugging the module straight into a PCÕs USB port, and running the purpose-designed software under Windows®. The data can then be graphed, printed, and exported to other applications.
"With reliability a key concern, we chose a name we could trust and the USB unit was a low-cost item that has proved very effective." Gordon Roxburgh, Volunteer Engineer, Brooklands Museum
"USB output has really made life easier on insutrumentation projects because you can simply swap from one laptop to another with minimal fuss. On this sort of operation that gives us extra confidence." Stephen Kemp, Manager, GBG Structural Services
