What is a Data Logger?
TRAK-R data loggers are portable, electronic instruments that record measurements over time. TRAK-R data loggers communicate with custom software on your computer to retrieve, view, print or export the collected data.


Where are Loggers Used?
Almost any process or location needing to record, monitor or control data can benefit from TRAK-R Logger technology. Some examples of typical logger applications are in HVAC applications, quality control in food, pharmaceutical, and chip manufacturing, container transport monitoring, museums, hospitals, etc.

Communication
At some user-chosen interval, the data collected in the logger needs to be downloaded to a PC in order to analyze the collected information. The data can be shown as a graph or a tabular form report, or the data can be exported to a spreadsheet or word processor.

TRAK-R Logger data can be downloaded in the following ways:
1. Connect the logger directly to the computer using the provided interface cable, either a serial port or a USB port.
2. Multiple loggers can be located at remote sites and can all be connected to a central computer via a switch box.
3. A remote dial-up connection can be established using modems.
4. A wireless connection can exist between a logger and a host computer. The range varies anywhere between 500 feet and 12 miles based on surrounding topography.
