The SpaceLogger S10 is a versatile serial data logger for sampling RS232 data from up to two devices.
Data is stored on a removable memory card (included), enabling remote data logging without the need for direct connection to a PC. After logging, the memory card can be simply inserted in a card reader, to view and analyse the data on a PC; no special software is required.
Each data record combines the data from the two devices or from the two samples from one device. This record is date and time-stamped when it is stored. A new file is generated for each day's data. The default file format is .CSV; other file extensions may be specified.
To configure the SpaceLogger S10 for a wide range of devices with RS232 output, set up includes defining the start and end characters for up to two data samples, baud rate, sample rate, file name format, handling of un-printable characters, addition of a separator and/or a newline to each data record. There is also the option to disable time-stamping and data sampling (to log all data).
The SpaceLogger S10 may be set up to output RS232 data as it is input or as logged. This enables connection to a PC, display or other device. A response to a handshake may be output and/or the contents of a file on the SD card may be set to output on start-up; this enables a command to be sent to the sensor, for example.
The status of two switches to ground may also be added to each data record. The unit records data to an SD card. These cards are available with up to 2GB capacity for long term data logging (included). The SpaceLogger S10 is ideal for field data acquisition due to its low power consumption and high capacity data storage.
Customised versions and quantity discounts are available - please contact our sales team for a quote.
The SpaceLogger S10 is configured for different devices using file SETUP.TXT written to the SD card.

Mapping Conditions & Life on the Sea Bed | |
The SpaceLogger S10 data loggers were part of the equipment on three 3000 metre depth rated 'pods' along with batteries, video processing equipment and control electronics. Marcus Shirley of Mr ROV, a member of the research team, confirmed back to us: "The loggers worked great and allowed us to reliably record accurate data which we were able to easily import into our scienfic modelling software. The time stamping feature allowed us to sync up all the data with the logged data from the ship's GPS and vehicle USBL position transponder, creating a very comprehensive data set. Many thanks for your help. The SpaceLogger S10 data loggers were great and 100% reliable, which is very important when you're on a ship far from land!" |

Load Cells with 4-20mA Output | |
The SpaceLogger A10 may take up to two 4-20mA analogue output. Readings are sampled at 75Hz, averaged over 1 second and time and date stamped when stored. The SpaceLogger A10 can be daisy chained for multiple load cell monitoring. Data is captured in a daily .csv file for easy analysis within a spreadsheet. If required conditional logging can be utilised. |

Gwennap Head National Coastwatch Weather Station | |
Richard Paul Russell has provided a complete internet connected weather station utilising a SpaceLogger W50 for the National Coastwatch Institution at Gwennap Head in Cornwall. The Gill Metpak weather sensor data is captured by the W50 data logger enclosed in the WeatherFile Connection Unit (WCU) and then transferred via the W50's Wi-Fi module to the Local area network and the internet. The live and historic wind speed, wind direction, pressure, temperature and humidity data can then be viewed on any internet connected device via the WeatherFile website. Richard Paul Russell have over 70 weather systems all using SpaceLogger W50s viewable on the WeatherFile website. |

Ryde Pier, Isle of Wight, Wind Data | |
This takes the Solent WeatherFile network to five sites and is an essential resource for sailors, water sport enthusiasts, sailing event organisers and others wishing to have live and accurate wind speed and direction measurements. One of the main challenges faced when fitting this unit was to overcome the lack of a local power supply and Wi-Fi internet access. Our newly developed WeatherFile Mobile Unit (WMU) containing a W50 and associated 4G router allows data to be gathered directly from the Gill MaxiMet GMX200 sensor and sent to our WeatherFile website. This was locally powered through a deep cycle leisure battery (70Ahr) connected to a solar panel. The result is cable free live data through WeatherFile completely independent of mains power and local internet. |

Why this logger is so critical is that the normal method of recording the data requires a degree of manual interaction, and if this does not occur for some reason, the entire batch cannot be sold due to the lack of pasteurization data. |

Eschmann Technologies Dental Autoclave Real-Time Cycle Data Management | |
The hardware customisation was in the areas of enclosure, brand labelling and over-moulded cable assembly. The software development was extensive to interpret the cycle data, allow manual input of additional tests and checks, facilitate user data analysis and present the combined data in the desired summary and detailed formats including Eschmann branded pdfs. This was a relatively complex project that has provided Eschmann customers with an on-going very successful product, that is still standing the test of time some 10 years after first use. |
|
Prestige Medical's Dental Decontamination Autoclave Cycle Logging | |
The most recent customisation was for a re-designed PCB-only logger to be built-in to a new autoclave design, with particular requirements for the SD card interface with the autoclave control panel fascia. This involved a new PCB layout to accommodate several changes including a new push-push SD card connector. |

The data is saved in daily text files, replicating the format that would be seen on a traditional paper printer-out. |
