Wireless transmitting and receiving devices provide novel ways to apply temperature measurement sensors combined with personal computers.

The growth of wireless instrumentation technology has provided new ways to apply temperature measurement sensors, combined with personal computers, to collect, tabulate, and analyze data. For complex, multi-sensor applications, wireless devices provide a means to eliminate the nuisance of running multiple leads over long distances through harnesses or conduit to a control room, instrument panel, or equipment rack, while keeping track of leads. For simpler one- or two-sensor applications, it means installing the wireless sensor and setting up the receiver.
