MoLab - data logger for indoor or outdoor use

If anyone wanted their data logger to be small, this unit from CMA in Amsterdam fits that description. You could say it's as portable as a compact digital camera. Its job is to record data from four sensors at once and be controlled by a colour touch screen. MoLab can be used as a standalone unit in the field or in the classroom. Alternatively you can connect it to a PC computer using a micro-USB cable. MoLab contains "Coach", which is software that lets you record data as well as manipulate it. As recorded elsewhere, this is a fabulously capable software tool.

Although hardly known in the UK, CMA (a commercial spinoff of a University of Amsterdam project) have developed sensors and software since the earliest days of technology in teaching. I've had a quick test drive with the unit and it's a credit to its maker.

Below: a well thought-out package. Note the 'cradle' for safe use; the non-captive leads; an excellent temperature probe; USB charger.
