How are Data Loggers Powered? 2024-12-19

A data logger is a compact, self-contained electronic unit that measures, records, and transmits a stream of data.In this article, we’ll turn our focus to how modern data loggers are powered, and how they transmit the data they collect. When selecting a data logger, there isn’t a universal best option for either. The optimal configuration will depend on the size and needs of your operation, so it’

Coherent Thermopile Power Sensors 2024-11-29

Sensors incorporating thermopile detectors to measure power of CW and modulated lasers.- Range: Approx. 100 µW to 5 kW; - Detector Technology: Thermopile; - Measurement Type: Power (and single pulse Joules);

What’s an Industrial Data Logger? 2024-10-31

An industrial data logger is a compact, stand-alone unit that continuously records a stream of measured data, which is stored digitally for later retrieval or transmitted to another device. The most common parameters they’re used to measure are temperature, humidity, pressure, voltage, and current. However, they’re highly configurable and can be set up to measure other industrially relevant parame

What Are Data Loggers Used For? 2024-10-23

A data logger is a compact, self-contained electronic unit that measures and records a stream of data. Modern data loggers are highly configurable, in terms of the types of data they can record, how they transmit data, and how they can be integrated into large, complex, and dynamic networks.

Why Is Temperature Mapping in Pharma Important? 2024-10-23

A growing trend in the pharmaceutical industry is the development of more complex and fragile products, like biologicals, chemical mixtures, and large molecules (COVID-19 vaccines are an example of this trend).

Wet-bulb temperature – from traditional psychrometers to a modern humidity control variable 2023-12-15

In the new readings, T1 was still showing the room’s dry-bulb temperature, while T2 was now measuring the wet-bulb temperature, meaning that the effect of evaporation on the temperature was more than 6 °C (40.8 °F). The difference between these temperatures indicates the amount of humidity in the environment; the higher the humidity in the room, the lower the difference between the wet-bulb and dr

How to choose the right instrument for measuring humidity and dew point 2023-12-15

Humidity measurement and control is called for in a wide variety of industrial applications. Each application has a different set of requirements for humidity instruments, such as required measurement range, tolerance to extreme temperature and pressure conditions, ability to recover from condensation, ability to operate in hazardous environments, and options for installation and calibration. Ther

Carbon dioxide monitoring – the essential secret ingredient in the food chain 2023-12-15

From the crispness of our apples and the fizz in our drinks to the sustainability of agriculture and the safety of workers, carbon dioxide, or CO2, is an essential part of the food chain. And anywhere CO2 is used it needs to be monitored using accurate sensors to ensure levels are neither too high nor too low. Let’s take a look at some of the places along the food chain where CO2 is monitored and

Spot-checking measurements of environmental conditions 2023-12-15

Field spot-checking is a common way to determine the measurement accuracy of a fixed measurement instrument between calibration intervals. However, it is important to understand that spot-checking is different from field calibration. In this blog we will briefly go over some of the differences. Spot-checking and field calibration are similar in that they both use a reference standard to verify the
