Data logging is the process by
using a computer to collect data through sensor. Besides that, data logging
also can analyze data, save the result of all information which was collected. Data
logging is commonly used in scientific experiment and in monitoring system. Examples
of the types of information a data logging system can collect include sound
frequencies, vibration, temperature, pressure, current and so on.
Data logger is an electronic
instrument that can record measurements over time. The readings are also will
transfer to the computer. But, sensor is a device that converts the physical
quantity into electrical signal.

Advantages of Data Logging:
v
To better understanding of scientific experimentation
v
To better understanding of science concepts
v
To more collegial collaboration opportunities
v
To better graphic skills
v
To more interest in practical work
v
Opportunity for interdisciplinary projects
v
To enhanced computer literacy
v
New innovative experiments possible
Disadvantages of Data Logging:
v
Some people may not like to work on computer
system
v
To reduced the practice of graphing skills
v
The students may not relate science concepts to
microscopic and symbolic system representations
v
To loss of conventional methods of data
collection
v
To increase work load of teachers
As conclusion, although the data logging give more
advantages but it is still has disadvantages. Some people also do not have
computer skills. So they will have problem to use this data logging.
