The TC-08 thermocouple data logger
offers industry-leading performance and a cost-effective solution to
your temperature measuring needs.
- 8 channel thermocouple data logger
- Measures from -270 to 1820 °C
- Automatic cold junction compensation
- High resolution and accuracy
- Fast sampling rate
- Multiple units can be run on a
single PC
- USB interface
Wide temperature range
The TC-08 thermocouple data logger is
designed to measure a wide range of temperatures using any thermocouple
that has a miniature size thermocouple connector. Additionally, the
TC-08 can also measure other sensors using a 70 mV range.
Featuring built-in cold junction
compensation (CJC), the TC-08 has an effective temperature range of -270
to 1820 °C (The actual temperature range
depends on the thermocouple being used.)
All the benefits of
USB
The TC-08 connects to the USB port of a
Windows based PC and enables the host PC to automatically detect the
TC-08 — avoiding the need for any complex setup procedures. The USB
connection also allows the TC-08 to be powered directly by the USB bus —
eliminating the need for an external power supply and making the TC-08
ideal for measuring temperatures both in the lab and in the field.
The TC-08's USB connectivity allows up
to 10 TC-08 USB data loggers to be used simultaneously on one PC —
making the TC-08 ideal for use as a large multi-channel temperature
acquisition system with a cost per channel significantly lower than
other systems of this size.
Fast and accurate
temperature data acquisition
With the TC-08 thermocouple data logger
your measurements can be made both fast and accurately.
The low conversion time of the TC-08
means up to 10 temperature measurements can be taken every second.
Whilst the high (20 bit) resolution ensures that the TC-08 can detect
minute changes in temperature.
All you need in one
easy-to-use unit
Temperature data acquisition with the
TC-08 is very easy — simply plug the TC-08 into a USB port on your
computer, connect your thermocouples, and you are ready to measure
temperatures.
The easy-to-use
PicoLog data
acquisition software is supplied with the TC-08 — allowing you to
start measuring and recording temperatures with the minimum amount of
effort. The intuitive user interface of PicoLog makes it easy for you to
set how frequently you want to take a measurement, and the number of
measurements you want to take.
For a limited time, the
original SERIAL TC-08 thermocouple
to PC interface is still available for users without a USB
compatible PC.
