Data collection and storage apparatus.

摘要

There is described data collection and storage apparatus comprising a collector unit portable to various locations at which measurements are to be taken and which incorporates means for identifying the locations at which measurements are made and for recording the measurements made at those locations by probes associated with the apparatus. The information collected and stored in the collector unit may be accessed by a transmitter unit in which the information is stored, or transmitted to a processor. The apparatus may be used to monitor any desired characteristic but description is made particularly of monitoring characteristics such as thickness of members in a generally hostile environment (e.g. under-sea).
