Key Features

12 or 16 Input Channels

Choose PicoLog 1012 for 12-channel low-cost logging or PicoLog 1216 for 16-channel logging with 12-bit resolution and external terminal-board support.

Expandable DAQ System

Use up to 20 PicoLog data loggers on one PC to build up to a 320-channel acquisition setup.

Up to 1 MS/s Capture

Block-mode capture supports up to 1 MS/s on a single channel, while streaming mode supports continuous logging at lower rates.

Control Outputs

Up to 4 output channels can support alarms, indicators, simple control logic or front-end circuitry.

PicoLog Cloud / Local Recording

Record locally or share cloud-linked captures for remote review without needing a separate recorder.

SDK Integration

Use drivers and SDK workflows for custom data logging, automated reporting and dashboard integration.
