No. All Apogee meters (MO, MP, MQ and MU series) either have sensors built into the meter or attached via two meters of cable.

If you order a sensor only (SI, SO, SP, SQ, SU series) you will need to have your own data logger (or, depending on the sensor, a voltmeter) to collect information from the sensor.
