#179271 - Some more information needed
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Hi Raghunathan,

100 Hz=100(readings per second) x 2(channels) x 2(Bytes) = 400 Bytes in 1 Sec.

You want to log data for 1 hours (assume it) = 3600 Seconds.

Total Memory required: 400 x 3600 = 1.4 Mega Bytes.

I can't think of a data logger that can store this much data (and at that speed), using an 8051. I have not considered the Time stamp in the above calculations and that will take at least 8 bytes per record.

Even if you want to re-transmit, the data logger has to process the ADC Value, run some calibration/linearization routines and store the data at 400 Bytes in 1 second, show the values on the display, and some other internal processes such as RTC, Watchdog, Keyboard scans, Alarm detection,etc.

I think it is really difficult to get this kind of a product.

         Well, your options will be much more limited, then            01/01/70 00:00      
   Not a data *logger*, then?            01/01/70 00:00      
      OK will call it so...            01/01/70 00:00
