What is a USB data logger and how does it function?

A USB data logger is a compact, battery-operated electronic device designed to record environmental parameters like temperature and humidity over time. It utilizes internal sensors and a microprocessor to store data points, which are later accessed by plugging the device directly into a computer’s USB port for analysis or by exporting saved data via USB thumb drive for analysis.
