Technical background: 

 
The  philosophy  behind  Edu-Logger’s  plug  and  play 
technology is based on each sensor’s ability to store its 
own  data  due  to  an  internal  flash  memory  chip  and 
micro-controller  in  each  plastic  Edu-Logger  body.  
This  technology  allows  the  sensor  to  collect  and  then 
store the digital data in the correct scientific units (

o

C, 

o

F, Lux, %, ppm, for example). 

 
The sensor is pre-calibrated at the factory. The built-in 
software  in  the  logger  can  be  upgraded  at  any  time 
using software. 
 
Inside  of  the  Edu-Logger  spirometer  sensor’s  metal 
tube  attachment  there  is  a  funnel  which  creates  a 
difference  of  the  air  pressures  before  and  after  the 
funneling  piece  according  to  the  airflow  speed.  A 
pressure  differential  sensor is connected to both  sides 
of the funneling piece. 
 
The sensor controller calculates accurately the air flow 
speed according to this pressure difference. 
 
Using  the  Edu-Logger  software,  you  can  easily 
determine  the  area  under  the  curve  to  calculate  total 
lung capacity.
