What can be recorded by data loggers?
Applications of data logging include:
- Unattended weather station recording (such as wind speed / direction, temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation).
- Unattended hydrographic recording (such as water level, water depth, water flow, water pH, water conductivity).
- Unattended soil moisture level recording.
How do data loggers collect data?
Data loggers use a microprocessor, an internal memory for data storage, and a sensor to collect data. Data loggers can either interface with a computer and use software to view and analyze the collected data or be used as a stand-alone device with a local interface or connect wirelessly to a device.
How do I connect my printer to scale?
Connect the RS-232 cable to the back of the printer and on the back of the scale, balance or indicator. Once the cable is connected, make sure the printer is connected to a plug. Make sure the scale or balance is plugged in or has enough battery life to operate. Turn the scale on.
What is a USB scale?
Digital, non-digital, luggage scales, postal scales, bodyweight scales, food scales, and so on. USB connectivity allows you to directly connect to certain programs and software (like ShippingEasy) to save an extra step of reading and entering weight outputs from your scale into a computer when weighing a package.
What is digital data logger?
Most instrument manufacturers today define a “digital data logger” or DDL as a stand-alone device that can read various types of electrical signals and store the data in internal memory for later download and analysis independent of a computer.
How do you use a data logger?
Configure and launch – First, connect the data logger to a computer via a USB interface. Next, use the accompanying data logger software to select logging parameters (sampling intervals, start time, etc.) and activate the logger.
What is the disadvantage of using a data logger?
Drawbacks or disadvantages of Data Loggers ➨It requires initial investment cost to start using the data logging service. Moreover the equipment is expensive for small tasks. ➨Often all the features are not available in data logger equipment and hence requires modification in the software or application.
How does a data logging weighing scale work?
At weighing Solutions & Instrumentation, New Delhi, We manufacture data logging weighing scales which are essentially digital weighing scales which also have inbuilt data logger in form of a USB port where a USB drive (Pen drive) can directly be connected and the scale will keep on storing / logging the weight data onto that drive.
How does a simple data logger ( SDL ) work?
Simple Data Logger (SDL) writes the weight from your scale or balance to a CSV file on your PC (with date and time). It can also be used with other measuring instruments, bar code readers, etc. sending data in ASCII format. Record the weight from your scale or balance for use in Excel.
Is there a way to record weight on a scale?
Connecting your scale to a PC and recording the weight should not be a difficult task. However, data logging software available from scale manufacturers or third parties is often expensive, difficult to use or frustratingly unreliable.
How do you transfer weight from scale to SDL?
Press the start button to start recording data. Press the “PRINT” button on your scale or balance to send the weight to SDL. Depending on you scale, this button might have a different name (e.g. “DATA”). Some scales like the A&D FX-300i used in this example also have to ability to automatically transfer each (stable) weight.
