Thermocouple amplifier identifies transducers automatically
The MX1609 thermocouple amplifier module from HBM simplifies the taking of temperature measurements to reduce test procedure times and give cost savings of over 30 per cent. The compact module provides synchronous, parallel measurement with integrated cold junction compensation and supports the widely-used type-K thermocouples (NiCr-Ni).
Because temperature is the most common parameter measured, the MX1609 is fitted with 16 electrically isolated thermocouple inputs with automatic transducer identification.
The module is designed as part of HBM's QuantumX family, with complete transducer data digitally stored in the connector for instant viewing via appropriate software. Several QuantumX modules can be easily connected together in a measurement system using FireWire. Alternatively, the integrated Ethernet interface provides convenient connection to a PC - even over long distances - when used as a standalone module.
HBM provides powerful software for measurement and analysis that includes QuantumX-Assistant, LabView driver, NET/COM programming libraries, and catman AP data acquisition software.
QuantumX also features extensive module and sensor diagnostics functions to complement transducer identification, thereby ensuring additional measurement and analysis benefits.
