Field notes
The page describes an optical capture chain rather than a replacement instrument: align a webcam, keep the display readable, and collect values as individual readings or timestamped series. Its example preview includes units, timestamps, averages, minimums, and maximums, while the stated test result covers 100,000 readings under optimal conditions. The page identifies Excel, CSV, diagrams, and MET/CAL as downstream uses.
