Check out the USB-502 from Measurement computing.

I've had one here for a year or so and it works very well and is
certainly well priced.

I'd like to hear from any techs who have, and use, Dickson RH/temp 
data loggers.
There was limited discussion of these units some months ago but I'm 
hoping for more information.

I'm going to buy one to use here at WSU but am having a hard time 
deciding exactly which one to order.

I'd be interested to know what models are in use out there and what 
those of you who have them like and dislike about them.
Please indicate too if your use is institutional or among private
clientele.

Does anyone have any warranty/service experience with Dickson on these
units?
(It looks like battery replacement on some models must be done by the 
manufacturer).

Also, do any of you have & use (or wish you had) the calibration
software?
Its another $250 and I don't want to spend the bucks on it if its not 
necessary.

Any information based on personal experience would be very helpful 
________ thanks!
(If you don't have/use a data logger, please don't clutter up the 
list offering your ideas & suggestions).
