Description

The DST milli-L is a miniature data logger that records temperature and pressure (depth).  Recorded data is stored in the logger‘s internal memory with a real-time reference for each measurement.

The DST milli-L is supported by the SeaStar software and the Communication Box which serves as an interface between the logger and a PC. Communication between the logger and the Communication Box is wireless.

In SeaStar, the user sets the start time, start date and sampling interval before starting the recorder. Up to seven different intervals can be set for the same measurement sequence. This is especially useful when more frequent measurements are needed at a certain time period.

With default programming temperature and pressure are recorded as pairs. Optionally, they can be set as primary and secondary parameters with different sampling frequency. That way memory partitioning can be customized according to individual preferences.

After recovering the DST recorded data is uploaded to SeaStar where results are displayed both in graphic and tabular form. After retrieving the data, the DST can be re-programmed and reused as long as the battery lasts.
A set of Communication Box and SeaStar software needs to be purchased with the first order.

Star-Oddi also offers protective logger housings for use at fixed locations or harsh environments.

Features on Request

Extended memory
All DST milli products are available with an extended memory capacity of 682,000 measurements in total (FLASH memory, DST milli-F). Please note that the FLASH memory consumes a little more energy from the battery.

Temperature calibration outside standard range
Temperature calibration outside of standard ranges or for smaller ranges is available for all products on request.

Examples of Application

DST milli-L is an ideal low cost recorder for fish or marine animal tagging, where large quantities of tags are needed at reasonable cost. The DST milli-L can also be deployed underwater, fastened to fishing gear or other underwater equipment, collecting valuable data on depth and temperature. 

The DST milli-L is suitable for studies within e.g. :

• Fish and marine animal tagging (internally or externally)
• Oceanography
• Marine biology
• Agricultural and cattle
• Hydrology
• Ecosystems research
• Temperature and pressure measurement in liquids, vials etc.
• Pharmaceutical research
• Any other field where temperature and pressure recordings are required
