Description
The DST centi-T is a small submersible data logger with a temperature sensor. Recorded data is stored in its internal memory with a real-time clock reference for each measurement.

The DST centi-T 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.

After recovering the DST recorded data is uploaded via 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.

Examples of Applications
DST centi-T is mostly used as a stand-alone logger for sampling temperature in underwater environments, attached to deployment lines, moorings or other gear. It can also be used for measuring temperature in soil or air. Another usage is measuring temperature values in animals. The DST centi-T can be implanted in animals.

The DST centi-T is suitable for studies in e.g.:

  • Temperature fluctuations in animals
  • Oceanography
  • Marine biology
  • Hydrology
  • Agricultural research projects
  • Aquaculture studies
  • Pharmaceutical research studies
  • Any other field where temperature recording is required.
