MoTeC C12X vs. C18X: Compare Display Loggers

MoTeC’s C series loggers splits into two ranges. The C12X line (C125 / C127 / C1212), is a display system first with the ability to add logging and further inputs to suit the application, where as the
C18X line (C185 / C187 / C1812) is a display AND a logger with a robust array of advanced capabilities and an expanding input/output array.

Screen size and capability are the two main decisions being made when purchasing such a device so the tables below are split by size tier, the 5" and 7" displays first, then the 12" pair so you can compare within the size you need.
