A vast range of libraries are available.
Hardware cost is below component cost.
Arduino is not overly hard to venture into.
Do be ware of the event horizon.
You can use assembler from within.
Initially AVR. There are PIC variants of Arduino. Also ARM and other.

Just don't tell Olin.

" ...
Not only is it easy to assemble and customize, also equipped with
extensive documentation and libraries.

You can get fast - to save the data to a file in any FAT16 or FAT32
formatted SD card, you can read any drawing, spreadsheet or analysis
program. We even have an example of how to use two free software
programs to plot your data tutorials

Including real-time clock with the current time stamp for all the data
so that you know exactly what happened when!

SD card interface with FAT16 or FAT32 formatted card. 3.3V level
shifter circuit to prevent damage to your SD card

Real-time clock (RTC) to maintain the time, even when the a rduino is
unplugged. Backup battery lasted for many years

Including SD card and RTC libraries and sample code means you can get fast

Welded joints, circuits or sensors prototyping area.

Built-in 3.3V regulator is a reliable reference voltage, and a
reliable operation, requires a lot of power to run the SD card

Compatible with a rduino UNO, Duemilanove, Diecimila, Leonardo or ADK
/ Mega R3 or higher. ADK / MEGA R2 or lower is not supported.

In this paper, I describe how I came up with an Arduino UNO data loggers
that are practical, low cost, easy to make and usable in a variety of
applications. I’m not a pro nor a full-time programmer – just someone with
an interest in the field and happy to share my work with other interested
parties. I will attempt to describe my work in a simple form assuming the
reader has a basic understanding of Arduino and programming.

 My code doesn’t process real time data: all the data is recorded first,
then saved on a micro flash card and then visualized (and processed) after
the recording is complete.
