Product consistency and quality and a mandate to reduce costs spurred container manufacturer Crown Cork and Seal Co to institute quality measures that could be applied for all manufacturing sites
These devices provide the perfect solution - they offer the same live temperature monitoring capabilities as the USB-TEMP and TC products, but can record the data to a removable CF card".
The USB-5203 logs data from thermocouples, RTDs, thermistors, and semiconductor temperature sensors, while the USB-5201 logs data from thermocouples only.
Both units log data to industry standard CompactFlash (CF) cards.
These new modules are ideal for remote or stand-alone applications requiring temperature measurement where the use of a dedicated PC or laptop is not feasible.
Both of the devices provide user configurable temperature alarms for control of eight digital output lines.
USB-5201 and USB-5203 come with a 64-MB CF card, which can store approximately 2,350,000 time-stamped temperature values from a single channel.
CompactFlash cards up to 2 GB in size are supported.
Data can be retrieved either by connecting the device to a computer via a standard USB cable (provided), or by placing the removable CF card into any standard CF card reader.
The devices are also bundled with a power supply and the following software.
* TracerDAQ, an industry-leading software package that provides easy data management and analysis: TracerDAQ converts and saves temperature and alarm data to standard, comma-delimited .CSV or text files.
TracerDAQ also plots and analyses real-time data or historical temperature files.
* InstaCal, an all-in-one installation, logger setup, calibration, and test application: InstaCal makes setting up and retrieving data from the logger as simple as a few quick mouse clicks.
* Universal Library and UL for LabVIEW, powerful language interfaces that allow users to write programmes in all of the popular programming languages using easy-to-understand, high-level command syntax. Request a free brochure from Adept Scientific ...
