- Logger sensor for measuring soil moisture levels.
- Can be used to monitor habitats, ecosystem , animal behavior, and perform soil chemistry and comparisons for further study.
- Probe with ceramic cone tip for taking readings.
- Required accessories.
To use sensors you will need either: a USB Module (USB 200) to connect via USB cable to PC or Mac, or a Wi-Fi Module (WIFI201) and battery (BAT200) to connect to any Wi-Fi enabled device (Smart Phone, , Computer).
- Cap to create vacuum pressure for calculating soil moisture level.
NeuLog logger sensor measures soil moisture levels, and can be
used to monitor habitats, ecosystem , animal behavior, and
soil chemistry for further study. The logger sensor has an
attached probe with a ceramic cone tip for taking readings, and a
cap that, when sealed, creates vacuum pressure inside the probe
for calculating the soil moisture level. The logger sensor has an
experiment duration of 1.0 second to 31.0 days, and 15-bit
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) resolution for reading a range
of values. The soil moisture logger sensor can be used for
chemistry, biology, environmental, earth science, biochemistry,
and physics experiments, and is suitable for grade 3 and higher,
or ages 10 to 21.
The logger sensor consists of a data logger, flash memory, and a
sensor for fully self-contained data gathering, and is
plug-and-play for immediate readings as soon as it is connected.
The logger sensor sends data in digital format to a PC, Mac,
, smart phone, or other viewer device, and provides
multiple connection options, including USB and wireless. The
logger sensor’s browser-based software adjusts ranges and gains,
and provides applications for presenting data, including online
and offline modes, tables, graphs, data analysis, double-axis set
up, statistic operations, and mathematical operations. The logger
sensor is encased in durable plastic, and has an LED indicator to
track experiment status, with push buttons for calibration and
start/stop experiments in offline mode for ease of operation. To
take an assortment of readings during a single experiment, the
logger sensor can be attached to another sensor; one to 10 logger
sensors can be used per experiment (sensors sold individually).
For efficiency, the logger sensor can store up to five
experiments in flash memory, and saved experiments can be
uploaded to a PC or Mac at any time. Additional accessories, such
as USB, Wi-Fi, or battery modules, are required for operation
depending on the device (PC, , viewer, and so on) used to
receive readings from the sensor. (Accessories and devices sold
separately.) The logger sensor includes a guide with instructions
for use and care, and measures 6.5 x 7.0 x 1.5cm (L x W x H). (L
is length, the horizontal distance from left to right; W is
width, the horizontal distance from front to back; H is height,
the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point.)
Logger sensors are electronic devices used to record a variety
of energy and environmental measurements, such as temperature,
humidity, voltage, and soil moisture, at set intervals over a
period of time in scientific classroom and field settings.

Science education products incorporate applied math and science
principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers
in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science
education kits and products alongside science, technology,
engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM
concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities.
Science education projects include a broad range of activities,
such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics,
robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.
NeuLog brand products, manufactured by EISCO Scientific and
Science Educational Systems (SES), include logger sensors,
software, and accessories for energy and environmental data
acquisition and measurement. EISCO Scientific was founded in
1968, and is headquartered in Rochester, NY; SES was founded in
1983, and is headquartered in Israel. Both companies meet
International Organization of Standardization (ISO) standard
9001.
