DescriptionThe LGJ3D is a data logger for strain gauges. It operates in two modes:
- Monitoring (real-time monitoring applications): Loggers send measurements to a PC in real time. If a measurement is not received by the PC, the logger stores it in its onboard memory and retransmits it at the next communication window.
- Record / restitution (post-event monitoring): The logger records measurements in its onboard memory. The user can later download all stored measurements to a PC at any time.
