8 Channel Thermocouple Input Module
Measurement Computing Input Module for 8 thermocouple sensors
The USB-TC is a USB 2.0 full-speed thermocouple sensor module providing 8
differential input channels. This module provides two (2) integrated cold
junction compensation (CJC) sensors for thermocouple measurements. A standalone
plug-and-play module which draws power from the USB cable. No external power
supply is required. All configurable options are software programmable. The
input module is fully software calibrated.
Thermocouple Input Module includes:
>> USB Cable
>> Universal Library
>> Universal Library for LabView
>> InstaCal and TracerDAQ 2.0 Software
NOTE: Large Quantity Discounts Are Available!
Note: Any order for Measurement Computing Products to be Shipped Outside the US will require an "End User Export Agreement" form to be Completed and Returned Prior to Products being Shipped.
