Applications of Portable Data Recorders In Nursery Management and Research

A portable data recorder is a specialized electronic device for recording and storing data in the field, then transmitting the data directly to a computer, eliminating the time and errors associated with manual data transcription. Use of a data recorder allows error and completeness checking in the field, direct data collection from instruments, and minimum turnaround time between data collection and completed data analysis. Considerations for selecting a data recorder to meet individual needs, and some drawbacks, are discussed. Specific applications in nursery management and research are presented.
