Reflection on Data Logging

REFLECTIONS ON DATA LOGGING

A data logger (also datalogger or data recorder) is an electronic device that records data over time or in relation to location either with a built in instrument or sensor or via external instruments and sensors.It is an instrument that can record data very accurately.

In my opinion this data logging devices help students an scientist greatly in improving their experimental result.The data logger can be used in an extreme condition where human cannot go like deep under the sea and give accurate result on what we are experimenting.Data logging techniques also improve the presentation on the result because the result now is captured by the computer, we can do many things with the result in the computer like extrapolating graph to predict new result.

In overall, the data logging technique provide a new platform for scientist and students to do experiment.We can conclude that data logging helps in speed and ease of capture, better learning outcomes, helps in presentation of data, increased level of interest among students and also to help teachers to create an active learning in the classroom.
