Take science anywhere with remote data logging, now available on select Go Direct® sensors. This new feature allows sensors to store data directly to their memory without needing an active connection to software. Track atmospheric changes overnight, measure acceleration on a roller coaster, or conduct long-duration experiments without worrying about Bluetooth® connectivity or device safety.
From investigating rocket acceleration to analyzing water quality, remote logging empowers students to collect and explore real-world data—anytime, anywhere.
Go Direct sensors with remote logging free your experiments from device connections, allowing you to gather data that Bluetooth® or USB can’t reach, from tide pools to the stratosphere.
Perfect for investigations that span long durations, such as monitoring soil moisture or tracking photosynthetically active radiation.
While designed for educational use, Go Direct sensors with remote logging offer advanced features similar to top industry tools, allowing students to experience data-collection methods like those used by professionals in the field.
Remote data logging is available on select new models of Go Direct sensors and requires our award-winning Vernier Graphical Analysis® app version 6.1 or later. Sensors with this capability are labeled with a downward arrow icon (see left) for easy remote-logging identification. Once connected in Graphical Analysis, users can follow simple prompts to set up and customize remote data collection.
Expand the scope of physics experiments with remote logging. Capture acceleration data in rocket launches, track rotation or altitude changes, or measure dynamic events like roller coaster rides—no connection required.
Give students deeper insights into environmental processes. Monitor salinity values in estuaries where freshwater mixes with ocean water or collect long-term water quality data in saline environments.
More easily track soil moisture trends with long-duration data collection—even beyond Bluetooth® ranges.
Launch Graphical Analysis and connect your remote-capable Go Direct Sensor. Adjust your settings—choose units, rate, and whether to start data collection immediately or with a trigger.
Select “Start Logging” and close Graphical Analysis (no need to save yet). You’re ready to start the experiment with remote logging!
When you’re ready, reconnect your sensor in Graphical Analysis, select “Retrieve and Clear” and your logged data is ready for analysis! Your sensor will be cleared, so be sure to save the file to share your data.
To get started with remote logging, make sure your classroom or lab has the most up-to-date version of Graphical Analysis installed on devices. Educators and students can also set up remote logging on the Chrome-browser based version of the app: https://graphicalanalysis.app/
