RedLab-TEMP 8-Ch Temperature DAQ


Description

 

The RedLab-TEMP is a low-cost USB based temperature sensor data acquisition unit. The RedLab-TEMP provides eight temperature inputs, which can be thermocouples, RTD's, thermistors or semiconductor sensors. The RedLab-TEMP also includes 8 bits of digital I/O, 500V of isolation, and built-in ambient temperature sensing. Supplied with free chart recording software, and drivers for most DAQ packages and programming languages.

RedLab-TEMP

 

The RedLab 5203 is a USB 2.0 full-speed, temperature measurement device that is supported under popular Microsoft Windows operating systems. The RedLab 5203 is fully compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports.

The RedLab 5203 provides eight differential input channels that are software-programmable for different sensor categories including thermocouple, RTDs, thermistors and semiconductor sensors.

Eight independent, TTL-compatible digital I/O channels are provided to monitor TTL-level inputs, communicate with external devices, and to generate alarms. The digital I/O channels are software-programmable for input or output.

With the RedLab 5203, you can take measurements from four sensor categories:

  • Thermocouple – types J, K, R, S, T, N, E, and B

  • Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) – 2, 3, or 4-wire measurements of 100 ? platinum RTDs
  • Thermistors – 2, 3, or 4-wire measurements
  • Semiconductor temperature sensors – LM36 or equivalent

The RedLab 5203 provides a 24-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) converter for each pair of differential analog input channels. Each pair of differential inputs constitutes a channel pair.

You can connect a different category of sensor to each channel pair, but you can not mix categories among the channels that constitute a channel pair (although it is permissible to mix thermocouple types). You can connect a different category of sensor to each channel pair, but you can not mix categories among the channels that constitute a channel pair (although it is permissible to mix thermocouple types).

The RedLab TEMP provides two integrated cold junction compensation (CJC) sensors for thermocouple measurements, and built-in current excitation sources for resistive sensor measurements. An open thermocouple detection feature lets you detect a broken thermocouple. An on-board microprocessor automatically linearizes the measurement data according to the sensor category.

The RedLab TEMP is a standalone plug-and-play module which draws power from the USB cable. No external power supply is required. All configurable options are software programmable.

The RedLab TEMP is fully software calibrated.
