Amfeltec Corporation, an electronics engineering company, has announced the release of its new addition to the PocketShark Product Family: the USB Batteryless System Logger.

According to the company, this logger is designed to record both the system and environmental data of the host and its surroundings, respectively. System data is captured via a USB port (from the host’s OS). The environmental data is captured via internal sensors. All data is continuously recorded to the logger’s non-volatile memory during normal host operation. In the event of a system crash or power outage, the logger protects the data.

Multiple internal sensors measure ambient temperature, air pressure, humidity, shock and vibration. The logger is powered directly from the USB port of the host being monitored. Further, it does not require any additional power, such as a battery.

“With the help of our USB Batteryless System Logger, the fault diagnostic process becomes significantly faster and most cost effective. Naturally, this approach helps increase the reliability of your host system, never mind the added potential for its improvement,” the company explained.

This system logger requires no driver and is transparent to the OS. The recorded data can be accessed at any time on any computer. It operates at industrial temperature rates (-40°C to +85°C) and doesn’t require any service or maintenance during its lifetime (over 10 years).
