Data logging update January 2002Computers have moved on. New PCs have started to lose their serial ports, the connectors that nearly all data loggers use to send their readings through. Last year many schools bought laptops, only to start searching for USB converters to make their old loggers work. The moral is to buy with the computers youll use in mind. Some manufacturers have responded well - users of the LogIT range can buy a cable (£20) that connects old gear to the USB port of the new computer. That and a software update make it all work again. Its an elegant bacon saver. |
