Introduction
This application example demonstrates how to use the DMM6500 to log temperature measurement
data from multiple scan-card channels, one every minute for 24 hours. The data is saved to a USB
flash drive.
During production or storage, the temperature of the testing environment can be important. You can
use the DMM6500 to monitor temperature at a fixed time interval for an extended period.
This application requires a Keithley Instruments 2001-TCSCAN card. The 2001-TCSCAN provides
connections for up to nine channels of thermocouple temperature measurements.
For this application example, the card is connected to a type K thermocouple on each channel.
Equipment required
• One DMM6500
• One 2001-TCSCAN card
• One computer set up for communication with the instrument
• One USB flash drive
• One device or component to be tested
