MCC E-TC Thermocouple Measurement Ethernet DAQ Device
MCC E-TC
Temperature Measurement Ethernet DAQ Device
The Measurement Computing E-TC is an Ethernet-based, eight channel, thermocouple measurement device. It features 24-bit resolution for precise temperature measurements and eight digital I/O that can be used for triggers or alarms.
The E-TC has a built-in high-speed Ethernet communication port. Users can remotely access and configure the device with software over the Internet.
Users can connect up to eight differential thermocouple (TC) input channels to the E-TC. The E-TC supports a maximum sample rate of 4 S/s per channel, and TC types J, K, R, S, T, N, E, and B. TC types are software-selectable per channel.
The E-TC has two high-resolution cold-junction compensation (CJC) sensors (one per four TC inputs).
The E-TC is equipped with open-thermocouple detection (OTD) for all TC input channels. With OTD enabled, users can monitor for broken or disconnected TCs.
The E-TC has eight digital I/O channels that are electrically isolated from the analog circuits. Each bit is individually configurable for input or output. Data can be transferred at rates up to 5 kS/s when the device and host are connected by Ethernet to the same local network. Typical throughput is system-dependent. All DIO channels are pulled high by default to 5 V through 47 kΩ resistors with a jumper on the circuit board. Each jumper configures the digital port for pull-up or pull-down.
Each digital output can be optionally configured as an alarm for each TC input. When an alarm is enabled, the output line associated with the alarm is driven to the appropriate state determined by the alarm options and input temperature. Use the alarm outputs to control a device or application that indicates when a temperature threshold has been exceeded, or to indicate an OTC condition.
The 32-bit event counter pin counts TTL pulses, and accepts frequency inputs up to 10 MHz.
The E-TC requires external power from the 5 volt, 1 amp power adapter included with the device.
Software support includes DAQami, an out-of-the-box application for data logging, visualization, and signal generation. Data can be viewed in real-time or post-acquisition on user-configurable displays. Drivers are included for the most popular applications and programming languages including Visual C++®, Visual C#®, Visual Basic®.NET, DASYLab®, LabVIEW™, and Python™.
