REFLECTION FOR DATA LOGGER

REFLECTION FOR DATA LOGGER

Data logger is a measurement device that we can collect the data that more accurate and fast. Before this i never know about the data logger. But during taking this course i learn more about it and feel so excited to conduct the experiment. After conducting the experiment , I found that there are  lot of advantages of using data logging device over the manual data collecting method. The  advantage is measurement is always taken at the right time. Unlike human, the device will not miss to take a reading and data logger can collect data more often even at every second while humans normally cannot nobody is perfect and always make a mistake and miss something that important. Besides that, Human always has parallex error.this is because during conduct the experiment we will take turn and it will easily to make the mistake. For example humans can make errors when they read the temperature of a thermometer and the result is always not very accurate. But when used this all the usual mistakes made by human will be reduce, it is because this device can get more accurate and precise data.  Not only that, graphs and tables of results also can be produced automatically by the data logging software since the data is available straight away to be analyzed by the computer. In that case, it allows data to be shared easily among students and allow the data to be analyzed much more easily than data collected by hand. Furthermore, it will help us from plotting data by manual.   Moreover, data logger can store many data and collect data  then save the  data in memory.we also can save the data long time in our computer.

This device also has their disadvantage. The data logger is very sensity toward surrounding condition. And we should avoid it because it will affect our reading and result will not accurate. In addition this data logger should be diagnosis and check their function to avoid from broken. After that this data logger cost is very expensive then need more care to avoid it broken.

So i can conclude here, by using the data logger device it can make our job easily and the time that we are taken so fast and it also can read the data every second and make our experiment more accurate and less the error during conduct the experiment. So the data logger is suitable used for record and collect data.
