Data Logger

Designed for educational use, the DrDAQ data logger features built-in sensors for light and temperature and a microphone for sound. It plugs into a PC's parallel port for display or data gathering. Any pH probe can be used for acid or base measurements, and fast signals can be captured like sound waveforms. An output is available for control experiments.

In addition, DrDAQ has two sockets for external sensors. When a sensor is plugged in, the software detects it and automatically scales readings. DrDAQ uses power from the PC, so neither batteries nor external power are required.

PicoScope (oscilloscope) and PicoLog (data logging) software are supplied. PicoScope enables rapidly changing signals. PicoLog allows DrDAQ to be used as an advanced data logger over long periods of time. Both software products are compatible with any PC running Windows 3.1x 95/98/2000 or NT.

DrDAQ comes with practical experiments for educational purposes. The built-in sensors enable experiments concerning light, sound (dB level and waveforms), and temperature to be done almost immediately. DrDAQ also has useful outputs for controlling experiments.

DrDAQ is supplied with cables, software, documentation, and example science experiments. It sells for $99.
