Data Manager - Model 2000 - Portable Data Logger and Programable Controller Brochure

High Definition Data Logging: The 16 Bit Resolution inherent in Dynotek’s Data Manager improves overall accuracy of measurements by providing substantially better resolution of readings regardless of the underlying accuracy of the sensor input. Analog sensors are essentially continuous in output, with infinite resolution possible. In converting the data from analog to digital, much of the stated accuracy can be lost. With a conventional 12 bit logger, the finest resolution reading that can be taken is 0.02% of full scale. With 16 bit resolution data, readings are better than 0.002% of full scale. This means that with a 1000 psi pressure transducer, the most accurately that actual water depths can be read with 12 bit is +/- 0.5 ft. With 16 bit resolution, changes in depth of as little as 0.04 ft can be measured. This level of accuracy can be critical in many monitoring and testing operations.
