Each Acquire logger features a built-in VGA port ‐ a feature never before seen in the market. Now results can be shown live on a whiteboard, without the hassle of setting up first on a computer. A great advantage in training, students, and indeed teachers they can see exactly what the demonstrator has on their screen, and know exactly what their own should look like. Pupils can perform a live experiment as part of a presentation.
e.Log sensors work with Acquire via a small adaptor. Support for SensorMeters will be available shortly. Introducing Acquire Acquire is a state-of-the-art data logger, with a huge touch screen, fast startup, six sensor inputs and huge memory.
The Acquire Data Logger functions as a standalone logger, or as an interface to allow live logging to be done on computer.
The logger is operated entirely via the 7" touch screen. This is the largest on the market, making Acquire easy to use and intuitive.
A built-in VGA port facilitates demonstration and training via a large screen or projector. No setup -just plug in and show!
Up to six sensors can be plugged in, including new digital sensors for increased reliability and ease of use. Older e.Log sensors can also be used, via an adaptor.
Acquire can sample at rates up to 200kHz, which is sufficient to capture audio waveforms.
2GB of internal memory provides ample storage for experiments, and video-based templates.
A USB port allows connection of memory sticks to transfer data, and peripherals such as balances and cameras to extend investigations.
Power is from an internal Lithium Ion battery, changed by the plug top adaptor (included) or via USB.
The built-in microphone enables recording of voice memos as a commentary on data, or as instructions to students. It also acts as a sound sensor.
Video templates can be recorded, uploaded to and played back on Acquire. This can provide instruction on how to set up the experiment, and convey much more than words and still pictures.
The Acquire Community hosts resources, such as experiment templates, and updates to the logger.

Acquire has been built with accessibility in mind. In 30 seconds, the logger can be brought out of the box and data acquisition started ‐ well under the 2 or 3 minutes required by other loggers.
A number of instant logging modes are available, so with an extra few seconds of setup, Acquire can be told to record something that changes quickly, such as voltage on a signal wire, or something slower, such as environmental conditions.
More advanced settings can be accessed, including capture rate, duration, triggers and axes. Experiments can be started, stopped and have markers inserted automatically, as dictated by trigger conditions setup by the user.
Values that are not time dependent can be captured and plotted, such as voltage against current for Ohm's law investigations.
Digital Sensors Acquire brings digital sensors into the Philip Harris range. Digital sensors use modern technology to overcome the frustrations that have plagued data logging in the past.
Now, the sensing and interpretation happens in the sensor. Analogue signals carried over lengths of wire are prone to error. Digital signals allow more reliable sensing, which means cables can be longer without any loss of accuracy.
Digital sensors are also faster as they have dedicated sampling circuitry. 200kHz sampling can be done across six digital sensor |
