S. logger for "luviometers and digital as a single channel shaft encoders in particular. A 0-20mA analogue input may be fitted as an option at the time of manufacture. to be used with 16 bit resolution. This will allow 1 channel The unit is an ABS enclosure housing a standard EPROM, a battery and solid state hardware. The EPROH holds 32K or optionally 64K RAM, and will facilitate 1 second recording resolution. B.'>ttery life is claimed to be in excess of six years of normal usage. Communication is via a 9-pin serial connector undeT the lid, and input via Cannon military specification connectors externally. to IP67 (waterproof) if required. The unit may be sealed Wl~sdata Data Recorders and Pressure Sensors The Wesdata recorders used were a 390 series and the pressure sensors, 983 and 984 series. The logging unit comprises a single channel data recorder directly coupled to a pressure sensor (see Plates 3 and 4). Both components reside downhole when in operation. The recorder is housed in a 300mm long polyurethccne tube of 30mm diameter. At the couplings, the outer diameter is increased to 40mm.
