3 Intended use The testo 164 online data loggers record measurement values (temperature, humidity or door contact) and send them to the testo 164 Gateway via a proprietary wireless connection. The gateway receives the measurement data from the testo 164 online data loggers via the proprietary wireless connection.
UV can also be measured. The testo 160 online data logger system consists of the hardware components (testo 160, testo 162, testo 164) as well as the testo Saveris Cloud and testo Smart App. The testo Saveris Cloud is the central data platform. Measurement values can be viewed and analyzed there.
