Measurement Computing's PCI-DAS-TC is a 16-channel thermocouple input board for use with PCI bus computers. An on-board microprocessor performs all system control as well as converting the raw analog input data into temperature. The board is based on a highly accurate and noise immune V/F based analog to digital converter.
The PCI-DAS-TC is shipped complete with a 5 foot shielded cabld and a screw terminal board that has been developed specifically for thermocouple measurements. The screw terminal board has a built-in CJC sensor, an isothermal bar to assure that the screw terminals are at a constant temperature. The screw terminal board is mounted in an enclosure to minimize errors caused by local air currents or drafts.
"When we started designing these systems, we needed to locate a robust data acquisition unit that we could trust, have multiple inputs and a simple but effective software interface and a reasonable price." Michael Gray, Precia Molen
"We have used MCC devices for many years on any number of different projects, from pile testing to seismic tests, and we've always been more than satisified with their performance. This was the natural choice for us." Stephen Kemp, Manager, GBG Structural Services
