datalogging
Continuous measurement capture
Datalogging is the automated recording of measurements over time, typically by electronic sensors.
A datalogger collects information—temperature, humidity, voltage, speed—at regular intervals and stores it for later analysis.
The term appears in scientific research, industrial monitoring, and vehicle diagnostics: The datalogging showed a spike in engine temperature just before the failure.
