Compact & Cost Effective Vibrating Wire Datalogger

The RT-VLOG is a highly accurate, robust, compact and cost-effective Vibrating Wire Datalogger to monitor multilevel piezometers, load cells and multipoint extensometers.

Available in 4 or 8 channel configurations, the RT-VLOG is ideal for use in small and medium size projects. Its non-volatile memory can store over 63,500 records. Each record includes the VW reading and temperature reading with time and date. The data stored in the memory can easily be retrieved in Hz and Engineering Units on your laptop via a USB cable.

The RT-VLOG is easy to set-up and requires no programming. An optional RS-232 serial connection is available for IP modems, WIFI serial servers, etc. An internal 900MHz Hermes Radio is also available as an option on both the 4 and 8 channel versions to transmit its data wirelessly.
