Looking for a logger.

If it doesn't have to be a portable instrument with leads, check out eGauge. They make a core model and a pro model.enough no volatile storage for a year of data, has a local web server or you can access via an Internet portal. Can measure or calculate just about any value having to do with power or energy, and can capture waveforms for a brief period. The pro has 64 channels.

Those look cool, kind of similar to the ekm meters that I mentioned earlier.
 
Emporia isn't a bad system. I have seen them a couple of times.

I like Power Monitor Inc. Their white papers and set up help is nice. It is a tad more complicated than just simple install, leave, and collect data.
 
Well i got that 435. I dont have it yet but its on the way. Paid about $2300 with tax delivery etc. seems like a good deal based on what i see them for on ebay. Should do everything i need and more. I still think the EKM omnimeter is probably the best deal if you dont need any PQ capability and just max mins and demand. I do have one of those set up at a client, and it will probably just live there
I have another set up i want to incorporate into an old amprobe logger case i have to make it more field use friendly..

I used eGauge on a project last year. Tons of issues. Had to send one back it was not responding. There are too many different CTs for each module. Not a fan from personal experience. Made me and my guys look really bad.
 
It's been a while since I used my Fluke 43B but from what I remember it is a line disturbance analyzer used for transients and fast response. Different from a data logger for measuring slow current and voltage changes as for panel load studies [Correct me if I am wrong.] The 43B can be used as a hand held oscilloscope to spot transients as well as logging data over time.

I think it would depend on how you set it up but I’m sure there are better and easier.

FWIW, I’ve gotten mine out and was going to log some operational data of a malfunctioning rice cooker. I’m having to go back to a Windows 98 laptop.
