Omega's datalogger works with infrared thermocouples
-- Test & Measurement World, 9/2/2008 5:00:00 PM
Useful for automotive, laboratory, and industrial applications requiring portable noncontact temperature measurement, the miniature OM-CP-IRTC110 data logger from Omega Engineering teams with the company’s OS36 series of Type K infrared thermocouples to measure and record up to 16,383 measurements/channel. The data logger has programmable start and stop times, while its real-time clock module extends battery life to more than 10 years and allows for high-speed downloads.
The storage medium is nonvolatile solid-state memory with a storage capacity of 32,766 readings, and it provides maximum data security, even if the battery becomes discharged. You can start and stop the logger directly from a computer through a serial or USB interface. Specifications include an internal channel temperature range of –40°C to +80°C, temperature resolution of 0.1°C, and logger calibrated accuracy of ±0.5°C (0 to 50°C).
The miniature datalogger is only 44x59x21 mm. Prices for the OM-CP-IRTC-110 start at $314. Options include a NIST calibration certificate, Windows software, RS-232 interface cable, USB interface cable, and two different Type K infrared thermocouples.
