Description

DI-2008 USB Thermocouple Data Acquisition system with Windaq software. Features 4 or 8 analog input channels programmable as a thermocouple or voltage input, 16-bit measurement resolution, and a full scale range of ±10mV to ±50V for voltage measurements or Thermocouple types J, K, T, B, R, S, E, or N. Includes a DI-2008 instrument, a 6-foot USB cable, a screwdriver for signal connections, an NIST-traceable calibration certificate, and downloadable WinDaq software

Eight analog input channels adapt to a wide range of measurement types and applications. Each channel can be independently programmed for a thermocouple or voltage measurement. Programmed as a voltage channel you can select one of twelve measurement ranges from ±10 mV to ±50 V. A range of ±5 V supports 4-20 mA measurements using typically a 250 Ω shunt resistor (model R250 sold separately). Programmed as a thermocouple channel you can select from eight thermocouple types: J, K, T, B, R, S, E, or N. Linearization and junction compensation are automatically applied by the DI-2008 for the selected TC type to deliver values scaled in either °C or °F. Rounding out the DI-2008, a built-in 15 V sensor excitation power supply simplifies external wiring and further reduces overall system cost. Finally, all analog measurements benefit from a 16-bit ADC resolution to reveal even the smallest signal variations. Virtually any measurement will experience a difference in ground potential between the instrument, the signal source, and even between signal sources. Known as common mode voltages, they cause noisy measurements in the best case or damage to the instrument in the worst case unless it’s specifically designed to tolerate them like the DI-2008. Each DI-2008 analog input is electrically isolated from other channels and from ground for safe and accurate measurements in the presence of common mode voltages. Channel isolation means that each analog input is free to float to an independent common mode voltage imposed upon it by the signal source up to 120 V rms, and still provide an accurate and noise-free measurement.

The DI-2008 provides 7 digital ports, each configurable as an input or a switch. Input protection is provided to 30 V. Configured as a switch a digital port can be used to control external loads up to 30 V @ 100 mA, and the switch can be controlled asynchronously without interrupting the scanning process. When activated as inputs two ports allow dual functionality to be used as discrete inputs, or one as a counter and the other a rate input. The rate input features a 50 kHz maximum measurement allocated over twelve programmable measure-ment ranges (10 Hz to 50 kHz full scale). The counter input provides 16-bit resolution and a terminal count value of 65,535. The discrete, counter, and rate inputs are members of the same internal scan list used by the analog input channels. This means that all enabled elements are acquired synchronously, which allows meaningful comparisons between analog and digital channels. For example, the rate input mea-suring engine speed allows rpm data to be acquired synchronously with analog data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I save data in Microsoft Excel format?
Data can be streamed to Microsoft Excel using WinDaq/ExcelLink. Data can also be exported to Excel after acquisition using WinDaq Waveform Browser. See How to Import Recorded Data to Excel.

Can I increase the accuracy of thermocouple readings?

To increase the accuracy of thermocouple reading, please follow this steps

Can I program it under Matlab in protocol level?
See our Matlab example on github.

Can I record 4-20mA sensor signals and if so, how do I do that?
4-20-mA process current signals can be measured with the DI-2008. See How to make 4-20mA current Loop Measurements for more information.

Does the device have internal memory (i.e. can I record in stand-alone mode)?
The DI-2008 stores acquired data to a connected PC using either WinDaq Acquisition software or by writing your own program. The device does not have hardware to store data to internal memory or removable memory. The nearest device that can is the DI-808.

Can I connect and measure data from a single-ended sensor?
Yes. Single-ended sensors can be connected and measured. The best practice is to connect the ground wire to the negative input of the channel.

Can I measure Thermocouple temperatures?
The DI-2008 is specifically designed to measure and record thermcouple temperature measurements as well as voltage measurements.

Is the DI-2008 Isolated?
Each DI-2008 analog input is electrically isolated from other channels and from ground for safe and accurate measurements in the presence of common mode voltages. Channel isolation means that each analog input is free to float to an independent common mode voltage imposed upon it by the signal source up to 120 V rms, and still provide an accurate and noise-free measurement.

Is software included with the device?
WinDaq Data Acquisition and Playback Software is included free.

Where do I download the software?
Download software at https://www.dataq.com/support/downloads/DATAQ-Software-Suite-Web-Setup.exe.

How do I unlock my device?
If you purchase an unlock code when you order a DI-2008, the device ships unlocked and you do not need to do anything. If you purchased an Unlock code to upgrade in the field you can unlock the device following the instructions in the pdf manual (https://www.dataq.com/resources/pdfs/manuals/di-2008-usb-voltage-thermocouple-daq.pdf - Chapter 5, "Unlock WinDaq").

Does the DI-2008 include a calibration certificate?
All new DI-2008 instruments ship with an NIST-traceable calibration certificate.

Can I get the DI-2008 re-calibrated?
Recalibration service is available and can be ordered online.

How often should I get the DI-2008 re-calibrated?
The DI-2008 should be re-calibrated annually.

Can I program this device in Python, C#?
The published protocol of the DI-2008 is available for programming in any language. View our GitHub page for example programs.

Is my sensor compatible with this device?
Maybe. The many gain factors and voltage ranges available on the DI-2008 allow for many sensors to be compatible with the device. See how fine a measurement you can make with your sensor using the ADC Resolution Calculator. If you have any questions about compatibility just send your sensor information to our sales team at sales@dataq.com.

Does the DI-2008 include digital or analog output channels?
The DI-2008 has seven bi-directional digital ports.

My sensor requires a power source, can the DI-2008 provide that power?
Yes. The DI-2008 can provide +15V power by connecting the appropriate wire to the +15V pin. Be sure your sensor does not exceed the excitation output spec: +15 V dc (-7.5% to +2.5%) at 70% load (47 mA), 67 mA at full load.

If all synced devices have one or zero enabled analog channels, sample rate per channel must be the same across all devices. One or more digital ports configured as a discrete input counts as one digital channel. Rate and count inputs count as one digital channel each.
Programmed (.Net- or protocol-based): Sample rate per channel must be the same across all synced devices.

Maximum channel count: 128 analog, 112 digital
Maximum supported throughput: ≥480 kHz
