Main Specifications

Thermocouple & Millivolt Inputs

Each of the 8 input channels can be configured to measure either ±500 millivolts or one of the following themocouple types, in any combination:

Type	Range *C	Accuracy *C	Resolution *C
J	-210 to 1200	±1.5	0.019
K	-200 to 1372	±1.5	0.024
E	-200 to 1000	±1.5	0.015
R	-50 to 1768	±2.0	0.125
S	-50 to 1768	±2.0	0.143
T	-200 to 400	±1.5	0.022

Interface Options

USB as standard (USB powered)
RS232 / RS485 option

Typical Applications

Fast data logging
Stand-alone temperature monitoring for industrial applications

Attached Software

TCIC- Monitor

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 LabView^tm 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.
