Our wide range of data acquisition products ensures that whatever your application there is a suitable Pico data logger available.
All data loggers are supplied with PicoLog — the powerful yet flexible data logging software that allows you to start measuring and recording data with the minimum amount of effort. Also supplied are software drivers and example code to allow you to use Pico data loggers with your own software or third party software such as LabVIEW.
By using a suitable sensor our voltage input data acquisition products can be made to measure anything you require, but for specific applications the Pico data acquisition range also includes current data loggers, data loggers for temperature and humidity monitoring and educational data loggers with built–in sensors.
With our loggers you can use multiple units on a single PC so, even if we don’t have exactly the device you want, you can always create your own custom data acquisition system using multiple devices.
Voltage Input Data Loggers
By connecting suitable sensors, our voltage input data loggers can be used to measure whatever you want.

Create Your Own Data Acquisition System
Using the supplied PicoLog software it is possible to create your own custom data acquisition system and use up to 20* Pico data loggers on the same PC.
For example, if you need to measure 12 thermocouples you could use two eight–channel TC-08s. If at a later date you need to measure another parameter you may decided to add a PicoLog 1216 as well. And, so on.
If you use Pico data loggers that include Ethernet interfaces you have even greater freedom as the distance from your PC to logger is not limited by the length of the connecting cable.
For example, you could monitor the current consumption of buildings at various locations — even in different countries — by connecting a PicoLog CM3 at each location and then accessing each logger via the internet.
Overall, if you want an expandable data acquisition system then a Pico data acquisiton system gives you a highly configurable system with a low cost per channel.
* The total number of data loggers that you can use will depend on the type of logger(s) being used. If you are planning to build a large/complex system then please contact our technical support team who wil be able to assist you.
