PhidgetTemperatureSensor 4-Input USB Thermocouple Interface w/ Enclosure API will throw an error if disconnected Measures from a distance Controlled by Mini-USB The PhidgetTemperatureSensor 4-Input USB Thermocouple Interface w/ Enclosure allows you to measure extreme temperatures of four different objects with up to four thermocouples via USB. You can connect up to four J, K, E or T type thermocouples to this Phidget. See the datasheet for the thermocouple to determine which end plugs into the positive terminal on the Phidget. If you're not sure which end is which, it won't harm anything to try both configurations to determine which one is right. If the thermocouple is hooked up backward, you'll get erratic readings and the temperature will decrease when it should be increasing. If you have other thermocouple types, you can open the channel in VoltageInput mode and convert it to Celsius manually. Warning: Due to parts and components going obsolete and becoming unavailable, the Rev 1048_1B has moved to a new processor that is not supported under Phidget21. If you're using the old libraries you must upgrade to Phidget22 before you can make use of this Phidget.
