Model: 6004-1 Technical Specs | Order Info

The Standard STARLOGGER is the first in a family of data loggers designed to meet your exacting requirements by offering not only an expanded signal capacity and range but also easier programmability.

The latest development in UNIDATA’s range of data loggers, the STARLOGGERs offer 12 input channels, two high speed serial input/output busses and two outputs. They also provide two power sources for external instruments. The range of scan rates extends from 125 milliseconds to 5 minutes.

Designed for trouble-free operation in a wide range of data logging applications, the STARLOGGER is upwardly compatible with the Model 6003 STARLOG Portable Data Logger. It readily replaces a PDL and also offers increased performance.

All STARLOGGERs feature eight (10 bit) analog channels, four (16 bit) counter/frequency channels, and sixteen (16 bit) STARBUS serial I/O channels. Memory is a large 512K capacity CMOS RAM, enough storage for many months of recording. STARLOGGERs are completely portable, containing an internal battery supply for one year of normal operation. Like all UNIDATA loggers, it is fully programmable using the STARLOG programming language.

The STARLOGGER communicates using standard asynchronous RS-232 serial communication standards which allow it to communicate with an IBM PC or compatible computer using a standard cable.

The other loggers in the STARLOGGER family are the:
