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 is also
true for the Panda Multi-sensor. This technology allows
the multi-sensor to collect and then store the digital data
o
o
in the correct scientific units (for example:
C,
F, Lux, %).
The multi-sensor is pre-calibrated at the factory. The
built-in software in the logger can be upgraded for free
at any time using provided firmware update.
The
viewer's
screen
uses
resistive
touchscreen
technology which reacts to a pressure being applied to
the screen – opposed to the more common capacitive
screen which requires an electrical conductor to
operate. This allows for students to operate the screen
even while wearing gloves.
Temperature:
Inside the Panda device is a thermistor which is a
variable
resistor
that
varies
significantly
with
temperature. The resistance increases nonlinearly with a
decreasing temperature. During calibration, the sensor's
internal controller creates the conversion formula from
resistance to temperature.
