Accelerometer/Magnetometer Data Logger X8M-3
General
The X8M-3 records a constant stream of time stamped accelerometer and magnetometer data to flash memory. Acceleration is collected in X, Y, and Z axes and stored at a user selectable rate of up to 200Hz. The magnetometer data is recorded at sub-intervals to the accelerometer rate. The X8M-3 mounts as a standard mass storage device, which facilitates easy access to the comma delimited data files and user setup files. The internal 500mAh lithium-polymer battery charges using the USB power. Read more about our data logger product-line features.
