Dickson has recently released a datalogger (model #FH 121) which
might solve this dilemma.  An LCD on the datalogger supports the
display of trended RH and temperature data in graphic form (similar
to a traditional hygrothermograph chart), allowing for on-site
viewing of a "chart" without having to download the logger.

A brief description of this datalogger can be found at
<URL:http://www.dicksonweb.com> by doing a product search for the
FH121.
