- Option to get the TCIC as a bare board or in ABS box.
Main Specifications
Thermocouple & Millivolt Inputs
Each of the 8 input channels can be configured to measure either ±500 millivolts or one of the following themocouple types, in any combination:
| Type | Range *C | Accuracy *C | Resolution *C |
| J | -210 to 1200 | ±1.5 | 0.019 |
| K | -200 to 1372 | ±1.5 | 0.024 |
| E | -200 to 1000 | ±1.5 | 0.015 |
| R | -50 to 1768 | ±2.0 | 0.125 |
| S | -50 to 1768 | ±2.0 | 0.143 |
| T | -200 to 400 | ±1.5 | 0.022 |
Interface Options
- USB as standard (USB powered)
- RS232 / RS485 option
Typical Applications
- Fast data logging
- Stand-alone temperature monitoring for industrial applications
Attached Software
- TCIC-Monitor software operates as a sophisticated data logger allowing data from all 8 channels to be logged to file. The Monitor software is able to control all parameters of the TCIC, which are stored in non-volatile on-board memory
- A LabViewtm vi demonstration is also included.
- Full examples for the programmer in .NET on how to communicate with the TCIC and easily make his own application.
