Making Parallel Thermocouple Measurements
The question comes up often, “Can I connect a thermocouple to your data acquisition system and a secondary device (i.e. additional monitoring equipment, a controller, etc), at the same time?” The answer is yes. It’s often convenient to make a parallel measurement when using a thermocouple to acquire temperature data, while using the same temperature Read More
DI-2008 Thermocouple, mV, V, Pulse DAQ Preview
DATAQ Instruments is excited to announce the pending availability of our model DI-2008 USB data acquisition (DAQ) instrument, slated for March, 2017. This new instrument offers affordable and expandable measurement flexibility with full analog channel isolation that’s so critical for successful measurements in any situation. Follow along and learn why this low-cost data acquisition system supplies Read More
The Ability of the DI-245 and DI-2008 to Reject Common Mode Voltage
Data Acquisition > Thermocouple > DI-245 The ability of the DI-245 and DI-2008 to reject common mode voltage is unmatched in the $75 per channel price range. To demonstrate the ability of the DI-245, where DI-2008 shares the same front-end configuration, to reject common mode (error) voltage, we connected K-type thermocouples to channels 1 and Read More
Thermocouple Assembly
Data Acquisition > Thermocouple Follow these instructions to connect a thermocouple to your miniature connector: Unscrew and remove the top of the miniature connector. Remove the rubber washer from the miniature connector and slide it over the tip of the thermocouple wire. Partially loosen the inside screws. Insert the wires under the appropriate screws and Read More
Synchronized and Distributed Data Acquisition Using DI-1000 Instruments in Hot Strip Steel Mills
Data Acquisition > Thermocouple > DI-1000TC Background The need for data acquisition in a distributed and synchronized manner is required in a variety of applications. Consider a hot strip mill that creates a long steel coil starting from a slab of steel. The process consists of: A pre-heat procedure that heats the initially cold slab Read More
How to Make Safe and Accurate Thermocouple Measurements Using Isolated Instrumentation
Data Acquisition > Thermocouple > DI-1000TC Thermocouples are the most widely used devices for temperature measurements. They are: Rugged; Inexpensive; Simply constructed (welded wires composed of dissimilar metals); Used to measure temperature ranges spanning thousands of degrees; Fast in their response to changes in temperature. But these attractive characteristics do not come without a price. Read More
Thermocouple Measurements Profile Cement Curing Characteristics of Prosthetic Implants
Data Acquisition > Thermocouple > DI-1000TC Introduction It’s obvious that prosthetic implants have changed the lives of countless thousands for the better. Knee, hip, and shoulder replacements are common surgeries today, substituting diseased or damaged joints with synthetic materials that allay pain and simultaneously restore mobility and quality of life. Not as obvious is the Read More
How To Connect and Calibrate Thermocouples Using DI-8B47 Series Amplifiers
Data Acquisition > Thermocouple Thanks to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), thermocouple wire is color coded to indicate thermocouple type and polarity. This takes the guesswork out of connecting thermocouple wires to your DI-718B, DI-718Bx, or DI-788. In this example, we’ll show you how to connect and calibrate a K-type thermocouple using a DI-718B, Read More
