What is a data logger?

A data logger is an electronic instrument used to take measurements from sensors and store those measurements for future use. Some common measurements include temperature, pressure, current, velocity, strain, displacement, and other physical phenomena.

How does a data logger work?

A data logger works with sensors to covert physical phenomena and stimuli into electronic signals such as voltage or current. These electronic signals are then converted, or digitized into binary data. The binary data is then easily analyzed by software and stored on a PC hard drive or on other storage media such as memory cards.

What is the major benefit of a data logger with industrial hygiene monitoring devices?

The ability to take sensors measurements and store the data for future use is, by definition, a characteristic of a data logger. However, a data-logging application rarely requires only data acquisition and storage. Inevitably, you need the ability to analyze and present the data to determine results and make decisions based on the logged data.
