Data Logging
Definition
Data logging in force measurement captures a continuous or sampled record of force readings generated by an electronic dynamometer. Each log entry includes the force value and a timestamp, creating a detailed history of a force event — useful for reviewing what happened at a specific moment in a tensioning operation, documenting that a proof load was held for a required duration, or analyzing quality trends after a production run. The EDxtreme dynamometer includes built-in data logging. Log data can be downloaded via USB or transmitted wirelessly to a Communicator II system. Data logs are commonly required by aviation MRO procedures, quality management systems, and compliance programs for high-stakes construction documentation.
