As the name suggests data loggers are the instruments that are used for data logging of various parameters. Depending on requirements there are various types of data loggers like PC based or standalone, moreover, there is single channel based or multi-channel based data logger which is used for various purposes.

Data loggers are the Data logging devices that can be sent to places that humans cannot easily get, for example to the planets, into the bottom of a volcano, or onto a roof of a tall building to get to a weather information. It is generally a small device, battery powered, portable, and equipped with various components like the microprocessor, internal memory for data storage, and various types of sensors.

Knowledge of environmental parameters like temperature, wind, and relative humidity course during a certain time is needed in various applications like in scientific, technical, medical, and industrial applications. For retrieval of this environmental information from various devices such as data loggers, manual readings, or chart recorders can be used for this purpose.

The data loggers are the electronic devices that combine analog measurements and digital measurements with latest programming methodology to sense all the parameters like temperature, speed, wind, relative humidity and other parameters such as voltage, power usage, and pulse. The device takes input from various factors like humidity and thermocouple temperature and many other sensors. This data is then passed for the monitoring to the database and then to the analysis software for storing and analyzing the monitored data.

Data loggers work in three module processes that include sensors, data logging hardware, and data logging software. The working process of data logger’s modules:

Sensors and transducers: They are used to sense the data that is to be analyzed and stored, other the required data is acquired using other devices and then provided as software file to data loggers for further analysis of parameters.

Data acquisition hardware: This module acquires stores and converts the received data into the form which can be interpreted by the applications of the software of data logger.

Data logging software: It is the software part of the data loggers which is used to analyze the data and provides the required results in the desired manner (in the forms of graphs or plots).

The primary benefits of its ability to automatically collect the beneficial data on a 24-hour basis. Upon activation, data loggers are typically deployed and left unattended to measure and record information of environmental parameters for the duration of the monitoring period. This allows for a comprehensive, accurate picture of the environmental parameters being monitored, such as wind speed, air temperature, and relative humidity.
