Love techy gadgets? How about a watch that can locate places with the touch of a button, record the GPS data of your trip with its built in data logger, which records not only location, but speed and altitude too. Sound amazing? This watch exists and will also tag photos and log your location, so friends can then view your paths on Google Maps or Google Earth. All this and the time of day. It's like having a "black box" strapped to your wrist. And this will help finally help you achieve that coveted "Superhero of Cyberspace" status you've been dreaming about.
A data logger is used in a variety of applications such as drive-time vehicle monitoring, environmental monitoring, structural health monitoring, and machine condition monitoring. This is usually a stand-alone device that requires a data acquisition system as a connection to a computer to acquire data. The stand-alone aspect of a logging device means that it has its own memory that is used to store any acquired data. This memory can be very large to accommodate many days, or even months, of unattended recording. In these cases, they typically feature a time and date recording aspect to ensure that each recorded value is associated with a date and time of acquisition.
If you're the town weatherman, a hand-held data logger is practically a necessity. Think of all the temperature or humidity readings you can capture from the palm of your hand. Device capabilities are so far advanced that thinking for ourselves is almost out of style. And these handy little gadgets don't even need us anymore. Environmental monitoring companies utilize them for long periods in harsh or remote locations with little or no human supervision. In these types of situations, it is imperative that they will not fail to log data for any reason. And they won't. Unlike computers, a data logging device is not afflicted with problems that might affect a computer in the same situation. A computer crash could ruin an entire experiment. The capability of these techy gadgets is constantly advancing as well. Use them to update your website on the weather. Kids have a science experiment? They will be the most popular kid in their class for life if you let them use your toy. Paranoid of "the big one?" Your trusty data logger can send you an email with any seismic activity in the area. You just might save the day!
