TC4000 - Thermocouple Based Temperature Recorder

Description:
The TC4000 is a miniature, battery powered,  stand-alone, dual channel temperature recorder.  This device combines the latest in low power technology with Windows based software to provide a next generation Temperature Recorder.  The TC4000 is the first of its kind and is a major leap forward in both size and performance. 

Additional features include programmable start time, programmable calibration, automatic cold junction compensation and linearization and real time monitoring.  Its real time clock enables all data to be time and date stamped. The device will directly accept any of the 8 most common thermocouple types.  

In addition, the ambient temperature is recorded and provided to the user as a second temperature channel. Its reading rate is user selectable and can range from 1 per 2 seconds to 1 per day. Once activated, this device will measure and record up to 10,922 temperature readings(5,461 per channel). The storage medium is non-volatile solid state memory,  providing maximum data security even if the battery becomes discharged. Its small size allows it to fit almost anywhere. 

Data retrieval is simple. Plug it into an empty com port and our easy to use software does the rest.   The TC4000 requires minimal effort to configure and control.  The software used to operate the TC4000 requires no programming skills and enables users to effortlessly select reading rate, device id and initiate the start of data collection within moments after users connect their hardware.  A simple plug-in connection is all that is required to connect our TC4000 to your PC.
