Data logging

Assalammualaikum and hello everyone..

Next, I would like to show what is the meaning of data logger. I hope this post will give benefit to you all. Let's enjoy reading.




Data logger is one of the technology that been used in conducting the science experiments in the school. It is used to store the data which includes many data acquistion devices such as plug in boards or serial communication systems that use a computer as a real time data recording system. The data that been stored could be pressure, current, temperature, light intensity, soil moisture and resistance. It is compact, battery powered devices equipped with an internal microprocessor, data storage and sensors. There are three different type of data logger which are stand- alone data logger, web- based data logger and wireless data logger.

The advantages using the data loggers is that they can operate independently of a computer unlike many other types of data acquisition devices. If we using the data longger, the chance of having an error is less. This is because the measurement of the data is always taken at the right time.  Other than that, when we used the data logger, mistakes are not made in reading the results compare to the human that often make an errors in this experiment. Example that we can see is sometimes we are easy to misread the temperature using the scale on a thermometer. Therefore, if we use data logger doing the experiment, we can ignore the error that occur when taking the reading of the temperature. In addition, we also can produced graphs and tables of the results of the experiment automatically by the data logging software. This will save the time where we need to plot for ourself the graph and table that we need in the experiment conducted.
