Overview
The DAS-TC/B is a thermocouple/voltage measuring board that accepts
up to 16 inputs. You can configure input channels individually to accept
inputs from thermocouples or other voltage sources. Channels configured
for thermocouple inputs provide readings in degrees (Celsius or
Fahrenheit), while channels configured for voltage inputs provide
readings in volts.
This section describes the DAS-TC/B features, software, and accessories.
Features
DAS-TC/B features are as follows:
●
The board fits an accessory slot of a computer.
●
All 16 channels are differential inputs.
●
Thermocouple inputs can be any mix of up to seven standard types, as
follows: B, E,
J, K, R, S, and T.
●
Thermocouple measurements are linearized by an onboard
microprocessor for readings in degrees.
●
Open-thermocouple detection is selectable.
●
Automatic CJC (cold-junction compensation) is performed on a
per-channel-basis and is continuous.
●
Calibration of the CJC and board logging parameters is automatic and
continuous.
●
Inputs to the DAS-TC/B enter through either a plug-in screw-terminal
block (the STC-TC/B) or an external screw-terminal box (the
STA-TC/B).
