The McElroy DataLogger® is used to record and document key parameters of the fusion process. This cost effective device can be used to verify that proper procedures have been followed prior to installation. The DataLogger consists of a rugged handheld computer as the recording device wirelessly connected to a data collection device. The data collection device records the heater temperature and fusion pressure profile over time. All data is recorded and transmitted to the handheld computer where the joint report can be stored, viewed, printed out directly and transferred to a desktop computer for archiving.
