Adept Scientific has added Measurement Computing's temperature-data logger to its range of data-acquisition products.
The USB-501-PRO standalone data logger is a corrosion-, impact- and weather-resistant device designed for data logging in harsh environments.
It offers a storage capacity of up to 32,510 temperature readings over the -40 to 125C (-40 to 257F) range with a typical accuracy of +/-0.2C (+/-0.4F).
The body is made from machined 316-grade stainless steel and provides an IP67 ingress-protection rating.
It is powered by a user-replaceable long-life lithium battery that allows logging for up to three years.
The USB-501-PRO logger is supported by USB-500 Series Data Logger Application software, included with the package.
This software is used initially to configure the logger- and program-alarm thresholds, logging rates, start times and measurement units.
When the logger is retrieved from the field, the software provides one-click access to download, display and export the data.
The user can display time-stamped temperature and alarm limits on a strip-chart graph.
The data can also be downloaded to a text or a .csv file, allowing users to export data to Excel spreadsheets.
The software and all Measurement Computing USB-500 series data loggers are compatible with Windows 2000/XP/Vista (32 bit) operating systems.
