Such a sensor integrated with a decision-making element, computation and<br />

communication facilities forms a smart sensor (Skierucha et al. [83], Wiczer<br />

[103]. Smart sensors must be also identified and have means for storing individual<br />

calibration data.<br />

The presented data logger system for collecting physical and chemical<br />

parameters of soil environment represents modern trends in the development of<br />

measurement systems that is manifested by low power consumption, high<br />

capacity of storage memory and possibility to control the measurement process<br />

from any place in the world using Internet connection or application of wireless<br />

radio connection in the case when the access to the monitored object is l<strong>im</strong>ited.<br />

Traditional sensors and measurement devices, such as soil thermometers,<br />

reflectometric soil water content meters, soil tensiometers for water potential<br />

measurement, rain-gauges and others may be easily equipped with not expensive,<br />

intelligent communication interfaces enabling identification, addressing as well as<br />

hardware and software compatibility with the presented MIDL data logger. The<br />

system was designed in modular way for future modifications following the<br />

progress in the metrology of non-electrical quantities and the general<br />

technological development.<br />
