Users can connect to Vibrating Wire Piezometers, Extensometers, Inclinometers, Pressure and Load cells, Crack meters, Tilt meters, Strain and Carlson strain gauges. The dataTaker G series is compatible with all major brands of geotechnical instrumentation including:

Slope Indicator
GeoKon
RST Instruments
Roctest
Soil Instruments
AGI – Applied Geometrics Inc.

The low-power operation of the dataTaker GeoLoggers provide excellent stand-alone monitoring and data collection. Power can be supplied to the datalogger via external batteries, solar panels or other independent sources, as well as from mains power where available.

Each dataTaker datalogger can store up to 5 million data points in user-defined internal memory. Users can log as much or as little as they need with independent control of schedule size and mode. Overwrite or stop logging once allocated memory is full. Archive data on alarm event, copy to USB memory or transfer via FTP. Communications features include RS232 with modem support, USB, Ethernet and USB memory.
