Advantages :
- Measurements are always taken at the right time. Unlike a human the computer will not forget to take a reading or take a reading too late or too early.
- Mistakes are not made in reading the results. Humans can make errors. For example it is quite easy to misread the temperature using the scale on a thermometer.
- Data logging devices can be sent to places that humans cannot easily get to. e.g. to the planet Mars, into the bottom of a volcano, or onto a roof of a tall building to get to a weather station.
- Graphs and tables of results can be produced automatically by the data logging software.
Disadvantages :
The main disadvantage of using a data logging system is the
initial cost of purchasing the equipment
