Temperature
Temperature signals can be monitored with e-corder and Chart software.
There are three major types of temperature probe: thermocouples; thermistors; and RTDs (resistance temperature devices). Each type needs its own preamplifier which then provides a signal to the e-corder. However, for many applications, the size and shape of probe is usually more important than the probe type.
A wide variety of T-type thermocouple probes are available from Physitemp which can all be used with the eDAQ Thermocouple Pod. 100 ohm platinum RTD probes can be used with the RTD Pod.
Other brands of temperature meter that provide an analog voltage signal will also be compatible with e-corder.
In general, the smaller the probe the faster the response time. For high speed response times very fine thermocouples are usually employed.
Available probes from eDAQ include:
e-corder can monitor temperature in many other situations as long as a suitable probe and preamplifier unit is chosen.
