Combining Real-Time Monitoring with Discrete Sampling in Maine

Lakes Environmental Association

In recent years, freshwater lakes in Maine have become threatened by the changing climate, changes in water quality, increases in harmful algal bloom frequency and severity, and the spread of invasive flora and fauna. In order to protect lake resources, various interest groups have stepped forward to provide data that inform environmental policy and lead […]

2.3 Data Loggers

Data logger is a broad term that may refer to any device that stores sensor measurement data. Many smart sensors integrate on-board data logging electronics. However, for the purposes of environmental data logging, systems typically include dedicated data logger units that can interface with multiple sensor types and, in many cases, transmit the data. Data […]

X3 Data Logging Features

Configuring an environmental data logger has traditionally been a complex task requiring intricate programming software. Users were tasked with indicating all connected sensors’ communication protocols, sensor addresses, measurement commands, data format, and power requirements. However, with NexSens X3 data loggers, this process is simplified through sensor detection. Using a built-in sensor library, X3 data loggers […]
