Almost all data-logging interfaces have their own specially written software either provided for free with the interface or at an extra cost. Obviously, you will need to ensure that the software is available for your computer before you buy a data-logging system and be wary of a manufacturer who tells you that the version you require will be available 'shortly' - that could mean anything from four weeks to eighteen months!

In the special case of analogue port interfaces, most software written to work with one will work with others. However, each will contain calibration tables which are specific to a particular sensor, so ensure that you have software which will give accurate readings with the sensors you are using.
