2.2 SETTING UP I NP UTS
The T4 module is capable of simultaneous measurements of up to
four channels of data at a time.
WARNING
1. Never allow voltages of more than 10V between any two
thermocouple inputs, or 5V between an input and module
ground. This may damage the instrument.
2. For best accuracy, all sources being measured should be
perfectly isolated from each other (including thermocouple
inputs)
†
.
† See Appendix Optimizing Temperature Accuracy.
23
2.2.1 Channel Selection & Setup
The instrument needs to know what type of sensor is attached to
each input channel. You must set up the input channels one at a
time.
• Access the main menu (see section 2.1.2).
• Press Sys ! Setup Inputs… to display the “Setup Channel
Input” window.
• Press
• Select the channel you would like to setup.
