Mounting temperature logger on Centos 7.0

Linux and Unix-Like Red Hat

When inserting a temperature logger into a Centos 7.0 machine, the relevant dmesg lines read:

[86557.171461] usb 2-1.4: new full-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci
[86557.258621] usb 2-1.4: New USB device found, idVendor=10c4, idProduct=82cd
[86557.258635] usb 2-1.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[86557.258637] usb 2-1.4: Product: HT160
[86557.258640] usb 2-1.4: Manufacturer: SLAB
[86557.265000] hid-generic 0003:10C4:82CD.0002: hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.01 Device [SLAB HT160] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.4/input0

When entering lsusb , the relevant output reads:

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 10c4:82cd Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc.

Additionally, fdisk -l gives no response.
So I went ahead and entered:

mkdir /mnt/logger
mount /dev/hiddev0 /mnt/logger

which lead to the message:

mount: special device /dev/hiddev0 does not exist

How do I mount a measurement device that is connected via USB?

Mounting usually fails due to unknown file system.
Try the auto option...

mount -t auto /dev/hiddev0 /mnt/logger

Thank you for your response. The command leads to the following error message:

mount: special device /dev/hiddev0 does not exist

From the dmesg output provided by you, you appear to have a USB device of some sort of human interface type, but not a USB storage device. What makes you think it is some sort of a storage device that you can mount?

Does the manufacturer provide a driver for the device? Maybe a file or cd you could download?

The temperature logger came with a CD with software, but it was developed for MS Windows. I am looking to access the data logged onto it. I will worry about changing the sampling frequency later.
