Well I would call it a data logger.
Some DPM (Digital Panel Meters) have RS232 (or 458 balanced line)
outputs.
They can be set for one output per second. Just capture and store.

OK, my power company sucks. I have brownouts and power outages all
too frequently. Yet when I look at the statistics recorded by the
public utilities commission, it seems obvious to me that they aren't
showing an accurate record of what happens at my house.
So I'm looking for a device (I'm fairly certain I've seen these
before) that I plug into a wall outlet and it keeps a log of voltage
sags, brownouts and outages. Then I can use this to build a
reliability profile of my power company as raw data to compete with
their b.s. line that its never their fault when my power constantly
sucks.
Any suggestions?
