The TCIC Series comprises low-cost, high-speed thermocouple temperature measurement data
acquisition cards with USB interface. TCIC cards use an 8-channel, high-resolution A/D
converter with on-board noise filters. On-board cold junction compensation
and temperature conversion enable standalone operation. The card also has 8 opto-isolated outputs that can
be activated based on individually programmable high/low limit setpoints
for each thermocouple channel.
Each TCIC card is supplied with Windows software that displays temperature data in digital meter,
analog meter, or strip chart format. Data for all 8 channels can be logged to an Excel-compatible file.
A LabVIEW demonstration vi and complete programming examples in .NET are also included.
