What is this called?

[Mike Kovich]

I once discovered on the internet, a sort of scanner for experiments. It was used to monitor experiments and such. It connected to a usb port I believe and came with some sort of software. I somehow lost the website and cannot find it again. Does anyone have any idea what this device is called?

Thanks,

Mike

 

Edit: Forgot to mention, it connects to a computer just incase anyone could not figure that out

Now that's very vague. I wouldn't know what to think '_';;

We used something like that in my high school - a LogIT i think it was called.

 

Had a box connected to a computer with different probes you could attach to it, is that what you mean?

[Mike Kovich]

It might be, but the only LogIT information I found on the internet was a real-time statistics program Let me try to explain what I was talking about in the first post. Its basically a little device you hook into a computer and you open up the program and then it has some probes I guess you could say, which go to your experiment and shows the information from the probes on your computer.

Ooookaaay...

well,

a sort of scanner for experiments. It was used to monitor experiments

 

doesn`t really help much does it?

 

I mean What Sort of "Experiments" are we talking about here for a start?

this isn`t even in a particular Thread area where we could at least Guess at it!

[Mike Kovich]

I know haha but I remember reading it on the site and it looked really interesting but my phone rang or something and I accidently closed it, that was months ago and I just suddenly remembered it and wanted to find out what it was.

[YT2095]

I`m sure your reason is More than valid and wasn`t in Question.

what IS in question is the TYPE of experiments you`re on about, was it electronic, chemical, to do with cars or rockets or plants, perhaps it was for Biology????

 

can you see my point now?

"probes" isn't really specific enough either. did they measure temperature, pressure...?

[insane_alien]

yeah my highschool had those things although they were called "ALBA". the probes could be for anything, temp, pH, light intensity, sound intensity etc.

[Mike Kovich]

Yes! That is it insane alien! I googled ALBA and found this site: http://www.djb.co.uk/SidePages/DataLog_Pages/datalog_sensors.html

That was the site I was on before! I finally found it! Thanks a lot everyone

An interesting exercise in induction theory.
