Recording thermometer
(OP)
I'm looking for a hand-held temperature data logger, but haven't been able to find anything that does what I'd like to do from the "usual suspects".
I have a series of objects passing by. Each object has a unique identifier, and I want to take multiple temperature readings of each object. The objects come in essentially random order.
I'm looking for a hand-held logging thermometer with the ability to key in the object identifier and measurement location (all numeric would be fine), then stick the probe in the appropriate location, hit the "read" key and have the instrument log a record of ID and location, temperature and date/time.
Anyone ever seen something with that capability?
Best option I've been able to come up with so far would be to run LabView PDA with a general purpose DAQ PCMCIA car connected to a hand held thermometer with a 4-20ma output.
Cumbersome and expensive.

I've e-mailed them a request for the user manual however. Thanks for the lead.

RE: Recording thermometer
I can't fine any such device on the AB web site. Has it been spun-off to become this? http://www.asidatamyte.com/content.aspx?id=87
RE: Recording thermometer
It would appear that the company has been spun off, however those are the data loggers I was talking about.
They have plugs to take the output from external measuring devices.

RE: Recording thermometer
Pricey too; $2,000 for the bottom of the line. My client would certainly balk at that.
RE: Recording thermometer
You can buy used ones, there are several available on Ebay right now. I do not know how good they are, but here is a link.

It isnt cheap but can pay for itself

We use a Honeywell QXe recorder to do similar steps, with the exception that our runs take 20-30 minutes and generate a chart. But the chart could be as little (or short in time) as you need.
The touch screen has a QWERTY keyboard to key in the ID data.
A screen prompts for ID data in any of 4 fields:
