TidbiT Data Logger Completely Sealed Underwater Temperature Logger with Optic Communication
The StowAway TidbiT family of loggers offers enhanced features in a weatherproof and waterproof package. Tidbit has 32K memory. Each unit features 50 pre-selected intervals from .05 seconds to 9 hours (42 intervals from .05 seconds to 4.8 hours), as well as custom intervals, with deployment duration of up to 5 years. Other features include: programmable delayed start for up to three months; trigger start with coupler or magnet; two blinking lights which confirm operation and indicate out-of-range status; and multiple sampling with minimum, maximum, or averaging. Use the Optic Base Station and TidbiT Coupler (required, sold separately in Optic Base Station/Coupler Kit 89521) for communicating with a host computer. Select from BoxCar Starter Kits (89429 or 89439 sold separately) to start the loggers and readout the data which can be plotted or transferred to popular spreadsheet programs.
