Introduction

The Digi-Sense Temperature/RH Touch-Screen Monitor (Model 20250-40)
measures and logs temperature, relative humidity, and dew point readings in
real time and displays them in digital and graphic forms. Intuitive touch-screen
menu allows you to program data collection parameters and adjust the graphic
display for the best presentation of the data. Software is pre-installed so no
downloading is required; just turn the instrument on and it is ready to run.
The 8 GB of memory means you have nearly unlimited data collection capability
which is easily downloaded to a computer in CSV format for simple integration
with standard applications. The instrument is fully tested and calibrated to
NIST-traceable standards. Careful use of this unit will provide years of reliable
service.
