Technical background: 

 
The  philosophy  behind  Edu-Logger’s  plug  and  play 
technology is based on each sensor’s ability to store its 
own  data  due  to  an  internal  flash  memory  chip  and 
micro-controller  in  each  plastic  Edu-Logger  body.  
This  technology  allows  the  sensor  to  collect  and  then 
store the digital data in the correct scientific units (

o

C, 

o

F, Lux, %, ppm, for example). 

 
The sensor is pre-calibrated at the factory. The built-in 
software  in  the  logger  can  be  upgraded  at  any  time 
using software. 
 
Inside  of  the  anemometer  sensor  a  magnet  is  situated 
within a metal coil.  The magnet is connected directly 
to the wind speed detector which causes the magnet to 
spin with the same velocity as the wind propelling it.   
 
The shaft is installed in a bearing and has a magnet at 
its  end.  A  digital  sensor  based  on  Hall  Effect  sensor, 
analog  circuit  and  a  very  sophisticated  digital 
processor is located near the rotating magnet. 

 

 
The  analog  and  digital  circuits  analyzes  the  rotating 
magnetic  field  and  calculates  the  rotation  speed  and
