Hye!
Have you ever used data logger in your life? What do you feel when you use it? Awesome! Recently I had experienced of using data logger (brand PASCO). When used it, I could not deny that technology helped us a lot in making our life simple. We can see the application of it mostly in laboratory when conducting an experiment regarding to the humidity, pH, pressure, force and etc.
The best when using data logger:
- It help us collected the data faster than ever. Thus, we could save a lot of time.
- The set-up is easier for us to follow. What we only have to do is clicking and clicking again. First click for the experiment to run and start collecting the data while the second click is to stop the experiment.
- It is easy to do edition in order to have the best result and a smooth line of graph.
- When I plotted a linear graph or any other graph, I could easily find the means and gradient of the graph. No calculation needed.
But, when there are pros, there also have the contras:
- By having a limited item of data logger, the idea also became limited. Mostly when we had a specification on certain subject such as Biology. As we only provided with the force, motion and temperature/Absolute pressure sensor, the idea to create an experiment that could used two types of data logger became less.
- If we want to use data logger, we have to really know the item so it could make our work easier during the set up of the experiment.
- The software also need to be downloaded first if we want to do it at home.
In a nutshell, in certain things data logger could help a lot. There are the uses of knowledge and experiences.
