For
Laboratories tracking instruments without PC interfaces
Worth noticing
The documented workflow uses a standard webcam, a stable tripod, and exports to Excel or MET/CAL.

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.
