Overview
The Extech Light Meter/Datalogger has a wide range to 10,000Fc or 100kLux and cosine and color-corrected measurements. The meter utilizes precision silicon photo diode and spectral response filter. The datalogger date/time stamps and stores readings on an SD card for easy transfer to a PC. The offset adjustment is used for zero function to make relative measurements.
Data Storage
The datalogger stores up to 99 readings manually and 20M readings via the 2G SD card, and adjustable data sampling rates range from 1 to 3600 seconds. The type K/J thermocouple input is used for high temperature measurements. Additonal meter features include record/recall min and max readings, data hold, and automatic power off with disable function.

NexSens X3 Data Logger Review
Extreme environments meet extreme design with the NexSens X3 Data Logger . The new logger offers the latest in real-time monitoring technology with wireless communication, a large plug-and-play sensor library and ultra-low power consumption, all in a waterproof marine-grade housing. 
 
 The X3 is built to handle harsh weather, floods, high winds and rough seas, and it stands alone; no additional protective housing needed. With an operating temperature that ranges from -40°C to 70°C, the logger can withstand arctic environments and extreme heat. 
 
 
 
 A conformal coating on the internal circuit board isolates it from moisture and humidity.

When Kentucky’s Emergency Response Team (ERT) has to act quickly in response to chemical and oil spills in the Commonwealth, they rely on small, easily deployable buoys to collect critical data that help minimize and evaluate damages in environmental emergencies. 
 
With a background in geology, Robert Blair primarily worked with groundwater and got involved sporadically with the ERT during groundwater contamination emergencies. Over time, this involvement led to him joining the ERT as an On-Scene Coordinator and then becoming the branch manager for the team and overall Emergency Response Branch .
