Grant Data Acquisition: Squirrel Portable data loggers

Grant has pioneered the development and use of data loggers and systems since 1981 when it introduced the Squirrel data logger, one of the first truly portable, microprocessor controlled data loggers in the world.

Small, battery, operated and extremely easy to programme, Grant Squirrels are used to monitor a wide range of physical parameters – temperature, humidity, voltage, current, resistance – in research and QA applications in a variety of scientific institutions and industrial operations.

The Cambridge-based Grant affiliate Eltek produces Squirrel variants primarily for remote logging using wireless based telemetry systems.

Temperature Data Loggers

Grant offers Squirrel models dedicated solely to recording temperature from up to six thermocouple temperature probes. These compact temperature data loggers can be used both for general-purpose temperature logging applications and for specific through-process temperature monitoring applications in manufacturing.
