Introduction

General Description
The 7085A is a temperature distribution module that allows users to quickly create multi-
channel measurement applications. It is designed to switch 8 thermocouple inputs and 1
RTD reference to a common output. The module interfaces with EasyCal software and the
10 channel scanner in the multimeter section of the 7051+, 8060+, or 5065B modules.
The 7085A supports multifunction measurements including resistance, AC/DC voltage and
current, thermocouple and RTD. For temperature measurements the cold junction
compensation is equipped to improve accuracy and is shown via an LCD display on the
module, and factored by EasyCal software via internal communication during applications.
The module provides a convenient method of temperature UUT connection and calibration.
To automate the process, EasyCal software controls the dry block calibrator (see TE range)
and captures readback via the CalBench control centre (with integral multimeter) for
automated testing. This method means that a typically time consuming temperature
calibration application can be performed without relying on the user to manually step through
the temperature ranges. The multiple input connections aid the workload further by allowing
up to 8 thermocouples to be tested at one time. The 7085A is an excellent solution that
saves both time and resources by automation and batch testing capabilities.
