Technical background:
The philosophy behind NeuLog’s plug and play technology is based on
each sensor’s ability to store its own data due to an internal flash memory
chip and micro-controller in each plastic NeuLog body. This technology
allows the sensor to collect and then store the digital data in the correct
scientific units (
o
C,
o
F, Lux, %, ppm, for example).
