Communications

The TCIC Series comprises
low-cost, high-speed thermocouple
temperature measurement data
acquisition cards with USB
interface. TCIC cards use an
8-channel, high-resolution A/D
converter with on-board noise filters.
On-board cold junction compensation
and temperature conversion enable
standalone operation. The card also
has 8 opto-isolated outputs that can
be activated based on individually
programmable high/low limit setpoints
for each thermocouple channel.

Each TCIC card is supplied with
Windows software that displays
temperature data in digital meter,
analog meter, or strip chart format.
Data for all 8 channels can be
logged to an Excel-compatible file.
A LabVIEW demonstration and
complete programming examples
in .NET are also included.

Specifications

Inputs: 8
Input Types: Each of the 8 inputs

can be configured to measure
±500 mV or type J, K, T, E, R,
or S thermocouple
