data logging
Automated information collection
Data logging is the automated recording of measurements over time, typically by sensors or instruments.
A data logger might track temperature, humidity, electrical current, or other variables at regular intervals: The data logging showed a spike in pressure at 3 a.m.
The practice is essential in scientific research, industrial monitoring, and environmental studies.
