Have a unit that’s giving intermittent problems.

Anyone ever seen or used a voltage logger

Just want something that I can plug inline with the unit and have it track voltage.

So I can go back and look for any voltage drop.

Had a quick look online and seems to be lots for DC voltage and those that are really expensive.

Just need to make sure this unit is getting a steady 120v ac.

We run into this a lot here at work.

First thing i would try is a multimeter like the Fluke 289 we have here at work - will show min/max/average to let you know if you had a drop out.

If that shows up nothing you could try a logging Oscilloscope and set it up to trigger when you fall outside of the allowed 10% window.

My meter will do min/max. Just don’t want to leave it there. Lol.

yes was just hoping someone might have had experience with a cheaper option.
