EL-USB-CO USB Carbon Monoxide Data Logger
|
Product Overview
|
Carcon Monoxide (CO) Data Logger with USB Interface
This standalone data logger measures and stores up to 32,510 Carbon Monoxide (CO) readings over a 0 to 1000ppm measurement range and -10 to +40°C (14 to +104°F) operating temperature range. The user can easily set up the logging rate and start time, and download the stored stat by plugging the data logger into a PC's USB port and running the purpose designed software under Windows 2000, XP, Vista & 7. The data can then be graphed, printed and exported to other applications. The data logger is supplied complete with a long-life lithium battery. Correct functioning of the unit is indicated by flashing red and green LEDs. A bright red LED will flash and a buzzer can sound when a preset warning level has been exceeded.
LED Flashing Modes
EL-USB-CO features a red and a green LED
By default hold is diabled. In this mode the red LED will no longer continue to flash after the logged reading has treturned to normal from an alarm condition.
Hold can be turned on via the control software. In this mode the red LED that indicates an alarm condition will continue to flash, even after the logged reading has returned to normal. This feature ensures that the user is notified that an alarm level has been exceeded, without the need to download the data from the logger.

The EL-DataPad allows users of Lascar’s EL-USB data loggers to configure their units and download data and view logging results on-thespot rather than removing the logger from the environment being measured and taking it to their PC. This allows continual logging with shorter breaks in data collection, less travel for the user, on-site data collection in graph, legend and summary format and the ability for users to reconfigure loggers in ‘the field’.
The logger is connected to the EL-DataPad via a standard USB port at the top of the viewer. Once connected, the user is guided through a simple touchscreen menu with options to Set-Up Logger, Stop Logger & Download and View Data. On-screen instructions follow the same structure as Lascar’s EL-USB-WIN software for PC currently provided with each data logger.
Data from up to 100 loggers can be viewed on the EL-DataPad, with data from a further 400 units stored on the unit at any one time. Data can be transferred to a PC or Mac using a micro USB cable supplied with the unit. Once uploaded, data is saved in comma separated variable (csv) format, making it suitable for import into spreadsheet packages such as Microsoft Excel or graphed on a PC using Lascar’s EL-WIN-USB software .
The EL-DataPad is compatible with the following EL-USB data loggers: EL-USB-1, EL-USB-1-LCD, EL-USB-1-PRO, EL-USB-2, EL-USB-2+, EL-USB-2-LCD, EL-USB-2-LCD+, EL-USB-TC, EL-USB-TC-LCD, EL-USB-LITE.
