    Overview 1.1 Product Overview The 8423 Memory HiLogger is a computer based data collection instrument. A combination of four types of unit can be connected to enable the measurement of up to 120 channels with one Memory HiLogger. Furthermore, the synchronous operation of a maximum of five Memory HiLoggers enables you to build a sys- tem with up to 600 channels.
  • Page 18: Features

    Multiple Channels (Up to 600 Channels) A maximum of eight units can be connected to one 8423 Memory HiLogger to enable the measurement of up to 120 channels. Furthermore, the synchronous operation of five Memory HiLoggers facilitates the synchronized measurement of 600 channels.
  • Page 19 1.2 Features Synchronized Measurement Connecting multiple Memory HiLoggers with optional 9683 Connection Cable (for synchronization) allows for synchronized measurement. See "3.7 Connect- ing Synchronization Cables" (p. 48). Equipped with LAN & USB Interfaces The instrument is compatible with LAN 100BASE-TX and USB2.0. A computer and Memory HiLogger can be connected to enable the supplied software Logger Utility to be used to control the Memory HiLogger and collect data.
