Description
DATAQ Instruments' DI-1000TC Series products are a line of instrumentation modules designed for temperature measurements using thermocouples. The unit is provided in 4- or 8-channel versions, and each channel may be configured in software to support one of seven thermocouple types: J, K, T, E, S, B, or R. Temperature measurements may range from -200 degreeC to +1820 degreeC (-328 degreeF to +3308 degreeF), depending upon thermocouple type. Each DI-1000TC thermocouple channel features a panel-mounted, miniature spade connector, and all input channels are electrically isolated from ground and each other up to 1000VDC, or peak AC.
Model DI-1000TC is designed for use across the entire spectrum of temperature measurement applications that use thermocouples. Its small size and wide measurement range make it a perfect temperature measurement device for laboratory applications. Its isolation feature allows it to be used in more demanding industrial applications that experience the large common mode voltages (off-ground measurements) that are typical of grounded thermocouples. Such measurement situations will prevent non-isolated instruments from making a measurement at best, or destroy them in the worst case.
Expandable
Multiple DI-1000TC units may be connected individually, or used as expansion units with any combination of other DI-1000 instruments to address any application-specific temperature measurement situation. For example, multiple DI-1000TCs may be connected to each other to provide unique 12, 16, 20, or other thermocouple channel counts.
Built-in RS-422 Interface
The built-in RS-422 interface allows DI-1000TC units to connect to any host PC through an inexpensive adapter via an RS-232 or USB port. This interface also serves as an expansion port for other DI-1000 Series instruments (not yet released).
Isolation
The DI-1000TC's 1000VDC and Peak AC input-to-output and channel-to-channel isolation allows grounded thermocouple measurements.
High Accuracy and Resolution Design
Allows sharpened decisions with an overall accuracy of +/-0.2%, and temperature resolution as fine as 0.08°C.
Portable
The DI-1000TC is provided in a small (13.81D x 10.48W x 3.81H centimeters; 5-7/16D x 4-1/8W x 1-1/2H inches) enclosure consisting of an aluminum base and all-steel wraparound.

Includes WinDaq Software
Be up and running minutes out of the box with WinDaq acquisition and playback software. WinDaq/Lite software is included free with the purchase of every DI-718Bx instrument. WinDaq/Lite operates at a maximum throughput recording rate of 1,108 Hz with a DI-718Bx Instrument. A special version of WinDaq acquisition software may be purchased (WinDaq High Speed Option) allowing you to record data at the speed of the instrument (up to 4800 Hz).
WinDaq Waveform Browser, our unrestricted playback and analysis software for Windows, is also included free with the purchase of every DI-718B. Use it to review, measure, compare, and analyze the waveform file after it has been recorded by WinDaq acquisition software. WinDaq software products support up to 14 bits of measurement resolution.
WinDaq uses the NIST ITS-90 Thermocouple Database for thermocouple linearization.
