WHAT IS DATA LOGGER???

A data logger is an electronic instrument that records measurements at set intervals over a period
of time. Depending on the particular data logger, measurements can include: air temperature,
relative humidity, current and voltage, differential pressure, light intensity, water temperature,
water level, dissolved oxygen, soil moisture, rainfall, wind speed and direction, leaf wetness,
pulse signals, room occupancy, plug load, and many more. Data logging is the collection of data
over a period of time, and is something often used in scientific experiments. Data logging
systems typically monitor a process using sensors linked to a computer. Most data logging can be
done automatically under computer control.

Data loggers are typically compact, battery-powered devices equipped with an internal
microprocessor, data storage, and one or more sensors. They can be deployed indoors, outdoors,
and underwater, and can record data for up to months at a time, unattended. A data logger may
be a single-unit, stand-alone device with internal sensors, which fits in the palm of a hand, or it
may be a multi-channel data collection instrument equipped with one or more external sensors.

How does a data logger work?

First, the data logger is connected to a computer via a USB interface. Next, accompanying data
logger software is used to select logging parameters (sampling intervals, start time, etc.) and
activate the logger. The logger is then disconnected and deployed in the desired location, where
it records each measurement and stores it in memory along with the time and date. Bluetooth
Smart loggers can be configured and launched wirelessly, after deployment.

After the desired monitoring period, the data logger is then reconnected to the computer and the
software is used again to read out the data and display the measurements in graphs that show
profiles over time. Tabular data can be viewed as well, or exported to a spreadsheet for further
manipulation.

In the case of web-based data logging systems, data are pushed to the Internet for access with
wireless data nodes, data are transmitted to a central receiver and with Bluetooth Smart loggers,
data are downloaded directly to your mobile device.
 Where are data loggers used?

Data loggers are used in a broad range of indoor, outdoor, underwater and temperature-controlled
environments essentially anywhere data is needed and the convenience of battery power is preferred.

Data logger for temperature and blood pressure

A temperature data logger, also called temperature monitor, is a portable measurement instrument that
is capable of autonomously recording temperature over a defined period of time. The digital data can be
retrieved, viewed and evaluated after it has been recorded. A data logger is commonly used to monitor
shipments in a cold chain and to gather temperature data from diverse field conditions.

TITTLE: EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON READING OF BLOOD PRESSURE USING DATA

LOGGER

INTRODCUTION

Temperature is a measure of the average heat or thermal energy of the particles in a substance. Since it
is an average measurement, it does not depend on the number of particles in an object. In that sense it
does not depend on the size of it. For example, the temperature of a small cup of boiling water is the
same as the temperature of a large pot of boiling water. Even if the large pot is much bigger than the
cup and has millions and millions more water molecules.

OBJECTIVES

To study the blood pressure of human when in different temperature.

How drastic it changes.

HYPOTHESIS

When the temperature is cold blood pressure will increase and when its hot blood pressure
will low.

Procedure

1. There was 4 beaker that contain different range of ice water inside ,for example 35 ,28,
24 and 20 degree Celsius .
 2. And there was another 4 beakers that contain 4 different range of warm water inside
70,60,50 and 40 degree Celsius .
3. The temperature data logger was dipped inside each iced water beaker and the reading
was taken and recorded in computer system .
4. The hand was then dipped inside that 35 degree celcius cold water for 5 minutes then the
reading of blood pressure was taken by using blood pressure data logger.
5. The reading was sent to computer system as well.
6. The step was repeated with 28 degree celcius water until 20 degree celcius .
7. The graph was generated in the computer showing effect of temperature on systolic and
diastolic reading .
8. Step 4 was repeated by using warm water from temperature (70,60,50 and 40) degree
celcius .
9. Again all the data was sent to computer system and the graph was generated for effect of
warm temperature on systolic and diastolic reading.

Discussion

1. What happen to the reading of blood pressure when hand dipped in cold water?

reading of blood pressure decrease

2. What reading of blood pressure when hand dipped in warm water?

reading of blood pressure increase

3. How temperature makes blood pressure changes?

Blood pressure generally is higher in the winter and lower in the summer. That's
because low temperatures cause blood vessels to narrow which increases blood
pressure because more pressure is needed to force blood through narrowed veins and
arteries causing the heart to work harder to push blood through the veins and arteries.
When the temperature rises, a persons blood vessels expand, leading to a drop in
their blood pressure. This is the bodys way of getting rid of excess heat. The rise in
temperature, coupled with the humidity causes people to sweat a lot. Sweating is the
bodys way of cooling down, but it can also lead to rapid loss of fluids and
electrolytes leading to low blood pressure. That is why cases of low BP increase
during the summers.

4. Other than temperature, what factor makes changes in blood pressure?

Smoking
Being overweight or obese
Lack of physical activity
Too much salt in the diet
Stress
Conclusion

Temperature really affecting the rate of blood pressure. Because its influences the blood vessel
itself to contract or dilate. So that the blood flow will easy happen or need much energy to pump
the blood to or from the heart.
