New thermocouple data logger
Pico Technology, the PC-based test and measurement company, has introduced a USB (v1.1) version of its popular TC-08 eight-channel thermocouple data logger, which samples at up to 10 readings a second
Data Logger uses USB for fast sampling rates
The new USB ADC-11 Data Logger from Pico Technology has USB connectivity to allow fast sampling rates and additional digital outputs for use as control or alarm outputs
The USB port provides easy connection and installation, and eliminates the need for an external power supply.
The new data loggers provide a cost-effective solution for measuring and recording voltage signals onto any PC or laptop (Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, XP or later) with a USB port.
When used with PicoLog data logging software, the units can sample up to 1 million readings at selectable sampling rates, for real-time viewing or storage on hard disk for later analysis.
The ADC-20 offers 4 differential channels for maximum accuracy, which can also be used as 8 single channels for greater flexibility; while the ADC-24 has 8 differential channels which can also be used as 16 single-ended channels.
The inputs have 7 programmable voltage ranges to interface with a wide range of signals and sensors.
All analogue inputs are overload protected to +/- 30 volts, and differential inputs are galvanically isolated to eliminate ground noise.
Both units have +/- 5 volt outputs to power sensors, and the ADC-24 additionally features 4 digital input/output lines.
Up to 4 units can be used at once with PicoLog, or with customer software and the Pico driver.
An optional terminal board is available that accepts sensor wires without the need for soldering, and provides space for simple circuitry.
Alan Tong, Technical Director at Pico Technology comments "In the ADC- 20 and ADC-24, we have combined high-precision measurement with the latest PC interface technology.
These units are USB-enabled and PC- based, for maximum convenience; and their high resolution and accuracy put them at the leading edge of measurement instrumentation".
Both models are available immediately direct from Pico Technology or any authorised Pico distributor.
The data loggers start at GBP199, with the optional terminal board available for an extra GBP25.
