E-Log
The data logger for meteorological monitoring
E-log has been explicitly designed for environmental applications: it is equipped with specific inputs for a wide range of sensors and calculations of derived quantities.
E-Log stores the data from the connected sensors and supports different communication protocols both in input and output.
Robust and reliable, E-Log makes measurements possible even in the most severe environments, while the 16-bit A/D converter ensures accurate and reliable data in classic meteorological, hydrological and air quality applications and – more generally – in any environmental application.

Other Highlights
Inputs for analog and digital sensors
Free terminal inputs
- N.8 analog differential inputs (N.16 single – ended);
- N.4 digital inputs (Pulse/Frequency).
To increase the number of inputs, two E-Log units can be jointed together using a Master & Slave using a RS232 (ELO3305 and ELO3515) or RS485 (ELO3305.1) connection.
Inputs for Serial sensors
The E-Log COM-2 port can be connected to sensors with different protocols:
- Modbus-RTU on RS232 or RS485 (with adapter external DEA504 for model ELO3305, directly for model ELO3305.1;
- GILL (Gill format, polar, continuous)
- BIRAL (SWS050 – SWS100, SWS200 –SWS250)
- LUFFT (UMB binary)
- BOSCHUNG.
E-Log can also be connected via RS232 to EXP301 radio receiver to receive signals from LSI LASTEM radio sensors (EXP line).
Sensors acquisition rate
Acquisition rate is programmable for each input (from 1 second to 12 hours). E-Log manages 12 channels from analog sensors and 8 derived quantities in 1 second.
To limit energy consumption from sensors requiring power supply, it is possible to set an advanced power supply from the acquisition event, (warm-up) that is interrupted immediately after the acquisition itself.
Statistical elaboration time base
The raw measured values can be stored directly as instantaneous values, or be stored as statistical processing (from 1 second to 12 hours):
- Average/Minimum/Maximum/Standard Deviation;
- Wind elaborations;
- Totals.
Derived and calculated quantities
Internal library of derived environmental quantities. These calculations use acquired quantities, constant values and other calculated quantities. The library also includes mathematical functions. E-Log manages up to 99 channels between acquired, derived and calculated quantities.
Data memory
Internal memory (8 MB) allows to store data typically for several weeks. The registration structure is circular. Storage autonomy is a function of the number of connected sensors and of the configured processing rate.
Data communication (devices)
It is possible to transfer data to a PC via:
- RS232, USB (with adapter included);
- RS485 with external adapter (DEA504 / 504.1) for model ELO3305, directly with ELO3305.1;
- Modem GPRS (DEA718.3);
- Radio (DEC015.1);
- Ethernet (DEA553);
Data communication protocols
Via GPRS modem, data are sent (push mode) to the IP address of a remote PC/Server in ASCII format and FTP protocol Alternatively, via GPRS or Ethernet, E-Log uses a proprietary binary protocol to transmit data using the LSI LASTEM communication programs: 3DOM, CommNET.
Data communication protocols (Modbus)
In the E-Log models it is possible to send data to Modbus Master devices via:
- Modbus RTU: on RS232 or RS485;
- Modbus Encapsulated TCP on Ethernet (using DEA553 adapter);
- Modbus TCP over Ethernet (using DEA509 adapter);
- The data transmitted with the Modbus protocol can concern instantaneous values, but also mobile statistical values*.
*Mobile data are values whose statistical basis corresponds to the last observation period. Example: mobile temperature average over 10 minutes (each minute the value is updated always considering the average value of the last 10 minutes).
Communication time rate
When data are sent via GPRS modem (push mode) to the IP address of a remote PC or server, it’s possible to set a sending rate from 3 minutes to 24 hours.
Switched power supply outputs
N.7 independent electrical outputs to supply external sensors and devices that can be activated with configurable logics depending on the data acquired. These outputs become relay outputs with a special external module (MG3023).
Built-in Temperature sensor
Built-in Temperature sensor (accuracy 0.5°C).
Firmware update
E-Log has a function (Boot loader) that allows you to send, via RS232, a firmware update from a PC directly connected via RS232, USB.
Peripherals
E-Log is equipped with the following peripherals:
- N.2 RS232 DCE port;
- N.1 RS485 port (ELO3305.1).
Data Logger configuration
The configuration is carried out by means of the 3DOM program on PC. The configuration file is sent to the instrument via RS232, USB. RS485 or Ethernet with external optional devices.
Display
E-Log is equipped with a back-lit LCD display (4×20 chrs). The following information are listed:
- Real-time measurement list;
- Diagnostic.
Clock synchronization
The internal clock (accuracy 30 seconds/month) is updated through the 3DOM configuration program, or via the CommNET data communication program that updates the clock at each connection.
Power supply
E-Log runs at 10÷14 Vcc. The batteries are external and are housed in the available ELF boxes. (See Accessories).
Power consumption and battery duration
E-Log has a very low power consumption (standby <4 mW), 140 mW during measurements. Without powering external sensors or communication devices, using a 15 Ah battery, it has several months power autonomy.
Installation
E-Log can be placed inside IP66 enclosure (ELF series). LSI LASTEM offers a selection of ELF enclosures (see Accessories) against shock, water, dust and atmospheric agents. Depending on the ELF models, the enclosure can also accommodate power systems, communication devices and batteries. For sporadic use it is possible to house E-Log in a customizable IP65 case.
Derivative Quantities
LSI LASTEM data loggers have an internal library of formulas for calculating a series of environmental quantities. These quantities are obtained from measured parameters, entered by the operator and other calculated quantities.
