Configuring the USB-TC
All hardware configuration options on the USB-TC are programmable with software. Use
Insta
Cal to set
the thermocouple type for each channel pair. Configuration options are stored on the USB-TC 's isolated
microcontroller in EEPROM, which is non-volatile memory on the USB-TC module. Configuration
options are loaded on power up. The factory default configuration is
Type J
thermocouple.
Allow the USB-TC to warm up for 30 minutes after powering up before taking measurements. This warm
up time minimizes thermal drift and achieves the specified rated accuracy of measurements.
Calibrating the USB-TC
The USB-TC is fully calibrated via
Insta
Cal. Allow a 30 minute warm up before calibrating.
