Key Features
Here are a few of the features of the eLogger:
Logs pack current to +/- 100 amps (150 amps with MPRV3-LEADS-150) and voltage from about 5 volts to 70
volts
Current is measured with a true Hall Effects Sensor - NOT a resistance shunt like other units on the market!
Great for bench monitoring of battery charging also!
Supports the PowerPanel LCD Display
Accepts optional inexpensive sensors for three Temperatures, RPM (brushless, magnetic or optical), Airspeed,
Altitude, GPS, Servo Current, Throttle Movement, and more
Adjustable logging rate (1-10 samples/second) and lossless data compression for long log times
4 times the logging space of the eLogger V2, and all data is logged to permanent memory, which retains the data
even when the power is removed
Software computes Wattage, mAH, etc. for complete e-flight data.
Fully Compatible with Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit), Vista, 98SE, ME, Win2K and XP™
Weighs about 0.7 oz (20 grams). Versions with Wire Leads weighs slightly more.
Comes with our state of the art Windows virtual playback display and graphing
Powerful Graphing software has advanced charting features, such as amps vs volts
Internet Updatable firmware - as we add new features or (heaven forbid) have a firmware bug, the update is just a
download away! No need to ship hardware back and forth.
Full support for English and Metric units
