USB TC-08 thermocouple data logger
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). It draws power from your computer’s USB port, so no external power supply is
necessary.
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 thermocouple connector.
Pico supplies a wide range of suitable thermocouples (see Ordering information).
All types of thermocouple in common use today are supported, allowing an effective
temperature range of –270°C to +1820°C (the actual temperature range depends on the
thermocouple being used).
You can also use the built-in cold junction compensation (CJC) circuit as a ninth channel
to measure ambient temperature.
Fast and accurate temperature data acquisition
With the TC-08 thermocouple data logger, you can make temperature measurements
both quickly and accurately.
The short conversion time of the TC-08 means that it can take up to 10 temperature
measurements every second (CJC counts as an additional measurement), while the high
(20-bit) resolution ensures that the TC-08 can detect minute changes in temperature. For
Type K thermocouples, the TC-08 can maintain a better than 0.025°C resolution over a
–250°C to +1370 °C range.
