Introducing the USB-5106
The USB-5106 is a 4-channel 16-bit analog data logger that can record up to 1.9 million measurements or
events. Each channel can accept a DC voltage sensor, AC voltage sensor, or temperature sensor (available
separately).
Using USB-5100 Series Data Logger Software, you can perform the following tasks:
Configure the logger alarm to trip when the sensor reading rises above or falls below a specified
measurement
Set up burst logging in which the logger records data at a different interval during certain conditions
Calculate minimum, maximum, average, and standard deviation statistics
Use the built-in LCD screen to check current readings and to monitor logging status, battery use, and memory
consumption between readouts.
TheUSB-5106 data logger ships with a mini-USB cable, two AAA 1.5 volt alkaline batteries, and an accessory
kit that includes a Command™ strip, double-sided tape, and hook-and-loop strap.
