Log Box-DA
1. INTRODUCTION
LogBox-DA is an electronic data logger with two input channels, one analog
and one digital. Input data
is stored in the logger internal memory, for later download
to a PC for visualization and analysis in the form of tables or graphs. The data is easily
exported to spreadsheets.
The LogChart-II is the software used to configure the logger, download and
visualize data. The logger configuration allows defining the logger operation mode,
including programming the start/stop time of data acquisition. Other parameters such
as signal input type, logging interval, multiplication factor, scale range, etc, are easily
selected through the LogChart-II software.
The LogBox-DA also provides a signal for commanding an external power
supply (battery) of a device connected to the logger. This feature allows that external
devices, such as a transmitter, be powered only during the measurement sample time,
thus extending the autonomy of these external batteries.
