Digital data logging

  • Sensors can perform measurements much more quickly and precisely than conventional measuring instruments.
  • A data logger can be used to simultaneously record measurements of multiple variables.
  • Software can process data much more quickly and accurately than is possible by conventional methods.
  • Sensors can bring to light phenomena that are not detectable with conventional equipment.
  • Modern science lessons should not be shut off from the technical achievements of data logging.

What does ADDESTATION mean?

Software and sensors in the MEKRUPHY data logging system have been developed in close association with our partners ADDEST Technovation PTE Ltd. of Singapore. This is reflected in the term “ADDESTATION”. This has been registered as a trade mark with the German patent and trade mark authorities. The ADDESTATION technology has also been patented with the European patent authority.

The highly responsive sensors, the powerful MGA data logger and the well tested software for the MEKRUPHY ADDESTATION system represent a measurement system that leaves nothing to be desired in terms of precision and ease of use.

What does MGA mean? 

Turn on the MGA data logger – Connect up to four sensors – Select a duration for the measurement – Start measuring – Look at the measurements and graphs – Assess the results. That is how easy the measurement process has become with the help of the new MGA data logger. The abbreviation MGA is derived from the initials of three of its main functions: Measurement, Graph and Assessment

The MGA is a powerful data logger, which can record measurements from up to four sensors simultaneously and can process 64 000 pieces of data every second. It does this without using any external computers. However, with the help of the supplied software CD, all this information can be uploaded to a PC, laptop or notebook computer for further processing, display, or even projection on a wall to make the conclusions for the experiment clear.

Storage case and charging station

The MGA has a rechargeable battery which ensure operation for 5 hours. When no measurements are being made, the equipment automatically switches to stand-by mode after 2 minutes. It can be started running again by pressing the left arrow button. Every MGA is supplied along with a charger to be plugged into a mains socket. Charging lasts a maximum of 10 hours.

The MGA is also provided with a rugged but light polystyrene storage case which can accommodate up to 10 pieces of equipment. MGA modules are designed in such a way that it is immediately apparent at a glance whether the unit is switched off with the touch pen in its intended slot and the SD card properly stowed away.

Using the chargers along with a couple of socket strips, the storage case itself can also be employed as an easy-to-use charging station. During the charging process, each piece of apparatus has an LED which displays whether the rechargeable battery is still charging or has already been fully charged.
