datalogger

Automated measurement device

A datalogger is an electronic device that automatically records measurements over time—temperature, humidity, voltage, pressure, or other sensor readings.

Dataloggers operate unattended, storing data for later retrieval and analysis: We installed dataloggers throughout the warehouse to monitor conditions.

Also spelled as two words: data logger.
