Data Logger

 The Data Logger is designed to take synchronous samples from our wired and wireless sensors. It can also log Analog Voltages and Generic Serial Data. Synchronized Sampled Data is time tagged and stored on a SD memory card. The Memory Card is easily removed and can be read on any PC using a standard SD Memory Card Reader. The data may then be displayed and analyzed with the new version 3 Staff and Sonic Interface Program. Sample Data may also be streamed out to a PC using the RS232/485 port or the optional 1-watt RF modem..
