How It Works

An Industrial 12-Channel Data Logger Unit operates by continuously monitoring, recording, and storing data from up to 12 different sensors or input sources simultaneously. Here’s an overview of how it works, from setup to data analysis

The data logger begins collecting data from the connected sensors at the configured sampling rate. Each channel operates independently, allowing for simultaneous data collection from multiple sources.

The data logger can display real-time data on its built-in screen or send it to a connected computer or remote monitoring system.If connected to a network, the data can be monitored remotely via software, a web interface, or cloud services

Data is stored in the device’s internal memory. The capacity can vary but is typically sufficient to store large amounts of data over extended periods.Data can also be stored on external media such as SD cards, USB drives, or transferred directly to a connected computer or network drive.

Set thresholds for specific parameters (e.g., temperature, pressure) that trigger alarms if exceeded. These alarms can be visual, audible, or sent as notifications via email or SMS.The system logs events like sensor failures, power interruptions, or parameter exceedances for later review
