Manual

The VW MiniLogger is a reliable, low-cost datalogger designed to monitor a single VW sensor, such as a piezometer or crackmeter.

The MiniLogger is designed for difficult environments. It is rated for temperatures from -20 to +50 degrees C; its encapsulated electronics are impervious to humidity and condensation, and it stores data in secure, non-volatile memory.

Applications

MiniLoggers are ideal for monitoring (1) a small number of sensors, (2) sensors that are distributed over a wide area, (3) remote sensors that are not easily connected to a centralized data acquisition system.

It is possible to deploy four or five MiniLoggers for less than the cost of a full-size logger, while significantly reducing cable costs and eliminating the need for complex programming.

Advantages

Wireless Option

Simple to Use: Learn how to use the MiniLogger in just minutes, not hours. There are no programs to write, no switches to set, and only four wires to connect.

Economical: Four or five VW MiniLoggers can be deployed for less than the cost of one full-sized logger. Cost savings in cables are also available, since MiniLoggers can be placed close to the sensor.

Reliable: The MiniLogger is rated for temperatures between -20 and +50 degrees C, and its encapsulated electronics are impervious to humidity and condensation. Readings are stored in secure, non-volatile memory.

Convenient Data Processing: The MiniLogger Manager program retrieves readings and stores them in an ASCII file, ready to open with a spreadsheet. The file contains two data values for each reading: a value in Hz and a value in engineering units. Thus calibration factors need not be applied in the spreadsheeet.

Argus Compatible: The MiniLogger Manager program can save readings in the Campbell CR10 data format, which can be transmitted to Argus.

Wireless Option: The wireless option is useful when access to the logger is difficult or when frequent retrieval is required. The wireless option is available in a spread-spectrum 900 Mhz version, which offers greater range and uses less power, but is normally used only in North America, or in a spread-spectrum 2.4 Ghz version, which offers less range and uses more power, but meets requirements in other parts of the world.

Small: The MiniLogger measures 100 x 100 x 90 mm high (4 x 4 x 3.5 inch).
