Abstract
A data logger for collecting, evaluating and displaying data, such as climate data, generated from measured values is disclosed, which has different function units within a common hardware housing. These units include a collection unit, a storage unit and a control and evaluation unit which is connected to the other units. A USB interface for digital data exchange with an external data processing system is included on the housing. The USB interface can be operated both as a digital interface for digital data exchange, and as an analog interface for receiving analog measurement signals.
