Measurement Computing, the market leader in low-cost data acquisition, has announced the addition of three new battery powered specialty loggers to its growing USB product line
A small PC interface module (WLS-IFC) connects to the user PC USB port and allows communication with a virtually limitless number of WLS-TCs and WLS-TEMPs throughout any industrial, commercial, or residential space.
The WLS-TC supports 8 channels of J, K, R, S, T, N, E, and B type thermocouples.
The WLS-TEMP supports 8 channels of data from the same thermocouple types in addition to RTDs, thermistors, and semiconductor temperature sensors.
According to Bill Kennedy, Measurement Computing vice president of marketing and sales, "We are very excited about extending the functionality of our already popular USB product line.
With the release of the WLS-TC and WLS-TEMP, our customers are no longer tethered to their USB port.
They now have the convenience of installing their DAQ devices at the point of measurement.
Our WLS series supports both wireless and USB applications - an extremely flexible solution for our customers to enjoy".
The devices are bundled with all software drivers and 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 files.
It also plots and analyses real-time data or historical temperature files.
Other software included is.
* 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 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.
