Dickson Co. is offering two new tools of interest for process automation. The Dickson Data Logger Selection Guide is an online step-by-step resource guide to find the best-match technology for monitoring temperature, humidity, pressure or electronic signal events. Dickson provides a wide selection of data loggers and chart recorders for monitoring purposes.

Multiple selection factors are provided including instrument displays, remote probe availability, alarm options, wireless/Ethernet/battery-operated or outlet-powered, operating ranges and cost. Users are able to drill down and mix and match various features until they identify the range of instruments that match their specifications.
Chris Sorensen, Dickson vice president sales and marketing, explained, "We know that the data logger or chart recorder that is the best fit for one user's application may not work well for another, and we maintain the world's widest selection of top-quality instruments to ensure you'll never have to make do with a less than optimal instrument match to your application."

Dickson also offers a comprehensive calibration guide on its Web site that reviews calibration methods to choose from, the development of calibration schedules, and more. "All instruments lose accuracy over time due to normal usage and the environmental conditions to which they are exposed," Sorensen said. "Periodic NIST-certified calibrations maintain the accuracy of your instrument throughout its life. This guide is designed to make it very easy for users of chart recorders and data loggers to navigate the many choices in calibration approaches to find the one that is best-matched to their application requirements."
