I think the cost of recalibration is huge for all types of loggers
so you should compare service costs as part of the purchasing
decision. Although the museum I work for has gone over to a
telemetry system, I am not unhappy with our ACR XT 102 and
Smartreader loggers and still find them useful for transits, case
monitoring and so on. I don't know if the software has been improved
from Trend 1.56 but I hope so as it takes 20 minutes to download a
full logger.
