All you can really do is read the spec sheet for the logger types and the sensors that you want to connect, then see if the logger inputs are compatible with the sensor outputs or if you need something in between to make them compatible.

For example, if the logger only reads voltages, then a sensor that outputs changes in current won't work without some signal conditioning. Some sensors need external power as well, while others may be able to be powered by the logger. Thermocouples may need some sort of mathematical translation to get a valid reading from them. Some sensors output digital signals which may or may not work with the logger.

Alright, I have thought about this for a bit and realised - einstein tablet is the product of fourier, its sensors are pretty avaliable, and must be the same type of output that the einstein sensors have, one problem - it has a different connection port which is unknown to me (i tried to search) and I dont know if there is any unknown port to micro-usb adapters for sale, if you worked with data loggers you must know what that port is, Ill include the photo
