A low powered, self-contained data logger based on the 80C35 processor with 32k RAM and various packaging, expansion & programming options. Designed by Paul Spurgeon in the mid-1980's and marketed by Data Harvest. Protoype has two front panel connectors: one for analogue & digital inputs, the other for an RS423 serial PC interface. Rear connector for battery charging. Data logging intervals from 4 milli-seconds to 15 minutes are set via software. Power saved by putting the CPU to sleep between data logging wake-ups, programmed by the RTC.








Prototype Databox consists of 2 PCBs. Lower layer PCB contains 80C35 CPU, 2k EPROM, & RTC, top PCB 32k RAM & 8 channel 8 bit ADC converter.


Later versions of Databox were redesigned for Data Harvest, repackaged, and marketed as Dormalog, an environmental data logger with 64k RAM.
