Applications
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.
- Unattended gas pressure recording.
- Offshore buoys for recording a variety of environmental conditions.
- Road traffic counting.
- Measure temperatures (humidity, etc.) of perishables during shipments: Cold chain.
- Process monitoring for maintenance and troubleshooting applications.
- Process monitoring to verify warranty conditions
- Wildlife research with pop-up archival tags
- Measure vibration and handling shock (drop height) environment of distribution packaging.
- Tank level monitoring.
- Deformation monitoring of any object with geodetic or geotechnical sensors controlled by an automatic deformation monitoring system.
- Environmental monitoring.
- Vehicle Testing (including crash testing)
- Motor Racing
- Monitoring of relay status in railway signalling.
- For science education enabling 'measurement', 'scientific investigation' and an appreciation of 'change'
- Record trend data at regular intervals in veterinary vital signs monitoring.
- Load profile recording for energy consumption management.
- Temperature, Humidity and Power use for Heating and Air conditioning efficiency studies.
- Water level monitoring for groundwater studies.
- Digital electronic bus sniffer for debug and validation
