Omega introduces handheld Bluetooth transmitter

The UWBT Series of Bluetooth transmitters combines the accuracy of an industrial sensor/transmitter with the convenience of smartphones and tablets. Each transmitter can measure thermocouple, RTD, relative-humidity, and pH sensor inputs and transmits the data via wireless Bluetooth communications to your smartphone or tablet using the free UWBT app, available for iOS or Android.

The free app has many features including the ability to be configured in nine different languages. It can be paired with multiple transmitters simultaneously, monitors and logs sensor data on your smart phone or tablet, and displays sensor data in digital, graph, or gauge format. This CE-compliant product has the capability to download logged data to your smartphone or tablet and send the data to an email address or to the cloud. The UWBT logs up to 10 samples per second and logs data to the handheld transmitter with date/time stamping or directly to your smartphone/tablet and works with mobile devices and computers with USB communications. Price starts at $325. Omega Engineering, www.omega.com/pptst/UWBT.html
