TC-08 thermocouple data logger The USB TC‑08 thermocouple data logger offers industry-leading performance and a cost-effective temperature measurement solution. With eight direct thermocouple inputs, the USB TC‑08 can take accurate, rapid readings. In addition, you can use up to 20 units simultaneously on one PC. The logger can measure and record temperatures ranging from –270 °C to +1820 °C using the appropriate thermocouple type (B, E, J, K, N, R, S, T).

PicoLog 6 software – straightforward from the start PicoLog 6 is a complete data acquisition software package for the TC‑08 data logger, and is fully compatible with Windows, macOS and Linux. With its clear and user-friendly layout, ideal for use with a mouse or a touchscreen, PicoLog 6 allows you to set up the logger and start recording with just a few clicks of the mouse, whatever your level of data logging experience.

Math channels Alarms Sometimes you need to use data from one or more measurement channels to graph and record a calculated parameter. You can use the PicoLog 6 equation editor to set up simple math channels such as A–B or more complex functions such as log, sqrt, abs, round, min, max, mean and median. In PicoLog 6, you can set up alarms to alert you to various events.
