Technical background
The philosophy behind NeuLog’s plug and play
technology is based on each sensor’s ability to store its
own data due to an internal flash memory chip and
micro-controller in each plastic NeuLog body. This
technology allows the sensor to collect and then store
the digital data in the correct scientific units (for
example: oC, oF, Lux, %, ppm).
The sensor is pre-calibrated at the factory. The built-in
software in the logger can be upgraded for free at any
time using the provided firmware update.
The NeuLog photo gate sensor uses an infrared beam to
determine when an object has passed through the
photo gate. In every point where there is a break in the
infrared beam, a 1 is registered in the program.
The NeuLog sensor firmware calculates velocities and
accelerations based on the record of 1’s and 0’s as well
as the experimental inputs. The computer program gets
processed data from the sensor.
