Logger Data

Logger data typically refers to data collected and recorded by a logging system or device that can be left unattended to measure and record information for the duration of the monitoring period.

Loggers are used in various applications to capture and store information automatically over time, called time series data. This allows for a comprehensive, accurate picture of the environmental conditions being monitored. The specific type of data logged can vary widely depending on the purpose.

For managing logger data, we provide you with infrastructure for the automatic backup, processing and transfer of results.
