Getting started
4.1
Attachment of the optional adaptor plate PCE-VDL MNT
You can attach the data logger to an adaptor plate. The data logger can then be attached to the
measurement object by means of the boreholes or the parallel long holes. The rear side of the
adaptor plate is magnetic so that it is no problem to attach it to magnetic substrates. The adaptor
plate is particularly useful when oscillation, vibration and shocks are recorded as the data logger
should be firmly attached to the measurement object to ensure accurate readings.
4.2
Attachment without using the adaptor plate
If you do not wish to use the optional adaptor plate PCE-VDL MNT, the data logger can be
attached in any position at the measurement object. If parameters like temperature, humidity or
air pressure and light are measured, it is normally sufficient to place or clamp the data logger onto
the measuring point. The data logger can also be suspended by its guard bracket.
4.3
SD card
If you use an SD card that is not part of the delivery contents, you have to format the SD card
before use (FAT32 file system). For high sampling rates of the acceleration sensor (800 Hz for
PCE-VDL 16I and 1600 Hz for PCE-VDL 24I), you will need at least a Class 10 (U1) microSD
card. The specification of the battery life only applies if the included microSD card is used.
