Technical background
The philosophy behind NeuLog'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 NeuLog body. This
technology allows the sensor to collect and then store
the digital data in the correct scientific units (for
o
o
example:
C,
F, Lux, %, ppm).
The sensor is pre-calibrated at the factory. The built-in
software in the logger can be upgraded for free at any
time using the provided firmware update.
The

temperature
sensor
uses
a
thermocoupler to accurately measure temperatures
from very cold (-200°C) to very hot (1200°C). Two wires of
different
compositions
and
thermal
conductance
properties are connected at the ends.
Because the metal wires have different properties, both
heat and electricity are conducted at different rates.
Using the Seebeck Effect, a voltage is created in the
wires. Different voltages are produced at different
temperatures. The voltage is directly measured and then
converted into a very accurate temperature reading.
