Temperature measurement with USB.

With RedLab TC and TEMP you can connect your temperature sensors to a PC via USB or Wireless USB. While the low-cost model TC supports thermocouples only, the TEMP variant can also be used with RTDs, thermistors or semiconductor sensors. The sensor type is selected via software. The models CF have an additional stand-alone data logger functionality with CompactFlash memory.

Model overview:

* Stand-alone logging to CompactFlash.
** Wireless UBS data transmission to RedLab WLS-IFC.
*** 10Base-T ethernet/LAN.

Features

• 4 (AI) or 8 independent, differential input channels for temperature measurement.
• RedLab TC support: Thermocouples type J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N. Linearization of measurement values, CJC as well as conversion to °C or °F directly in the module.
• RedLab TEMP support 4 types of sensors: Thermocouples (type J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N), RTDs (2-, 3-, 4-wire, eg. 4x 3-wire RTDs), thermistors, semiconductor temperature sensors. The 8 channels can also be operated with a mix of different sensor types without additional signal conditioning.
• Models AI: 4 universal single-ended/differential analog inputs with ranges ±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, ±1.25 V.
• Precise 24 bit A/D converter.
• Integrated sensor for environmental temperature (CJC/cold junction compensation).
• 8 additional digital I/O lines.
• Plug'n'Play USB 2.0 (full-speed, USB cable included). Power supply via USB.
• Models CF: Data logger function incl. 64 MB CompactFlash. Configuration and data "download" to PC via USB. Otherwise stand-alone operation independently from PC (battery buffered). Power supply in stand alone mode via external power supply at USB (incl.).
• Models WLS: Power supply for USB operation via USB, power supply for wireless operation via external power supply at USB (inkluded). Communication via USB or via 802.15.4 wireless protocol. Distance: Up to ~40 m indoor and 730 m outdoor.
• Supported programming environments: C/C++, Delphi, Visual Studio, Visual Studio .NET, LabVIEW. Optional, extra cost: MATLAB, DASYLab (available from the manufacturers of MATLAB and/or DASYLab).
