Actually, you can set your Kestrel 4000 to automatically store sample
intervals of 2 sec, 5 sec, 10 sec, 20 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, 2 min, 5 min, 10
min, 20 min, 30 min, 1 hr, 2 hr, 5 hr, and 12 hr. 

That will give you sampled time periods of 8 min, 20 sec, through 17 wk, 6
days, depending on the sampling interval. I set mine to sample every 5
minutes for winter over night tests and every 20 minutes for 3 season
weekend trips. You can set it to overwrite and continue sampling or stop
recording at the end of the memory capabilities.

You can download that info to an Excel spreadsheet, as well. 

I've been using one for 2 or 3 years now.
