I am in need of a data logger to measure the thrust of a rocket Vs Time. I have the test stand (or sensor) which is a simple resistive sensor. I plan on running a voltage across it, in which the voltage will correspond to the amount of thrust produced.
I have picked out these 2 data loggers; Im kinda on a budget here.

I was thinking of USB-3. I like portablity, and I dont want to get a laptop.

But it seems like Id have to decode the ascii with that one.
I dont want to have to pay for software either. Does any one have any other suggestions? I basically need to record voltage. My current setup involves the camera recording a ohm meter, but it seems the meter might not catch "spikes" in the thrust (and it doesnt seem too fast to me).
