Data logger AND AD-1688

Data logger AND AD-1688

The Data logger AND AD-1688 is a compact and efficient weighing data logger designed for use with balances equipped with an RS-232C output. This device enables users to record weighing data without the need for a dedicated power source or complex setup. Ideal for laboratory and industrial applications, it stores measurement results from balances and can later transfer them to a PC for further analysis and documentation.

Because it draws power directly from the weighing instrument or PC via USB, it is highly portable and convenient for environments that require mobility or minimal cabling. Additionally, it is compatible with a wide range of Windows operating systems, making it versatile and user-friendly in both legacy and modern computing environments.
