Typical Applications
Fast data logging
Stand-alone temperature monitoring for industrial applications
Attached Software
TCIC-Monitor software operates as a sophisticated data logger
allowing data from all 8 channels to be logged to file. The Monitor
software is able to control all parameters of the TCIC, which are
stored in non-volatile on-board memory
A LabViewtm vi demonstration is also included.
Full examples for the programmer in .NET on how to communicate with the TCIC and easily make his own application.
