May 7, 2008 - MARLBORO, MA þu Data Translation announces the Ethernet (LXI) version of their ultra-accurate temperature measurement instrument TEMPpoint. This network-ready version provides a standard Ethernet connection to support remote monitoring and control of thermocouples, RTDs, and voltages in the field and on the factory floor. TEMPpoint has received full Class C compliance and certification for LXI. Compatibility to other LXI devices is now assured for large system configurations. TEMPpoint offers 48 separate channels with 24-bit resolution, each with its own A/D converter and CJC circuit. 1000V channel-to-channel isolation protects signal integrity and rejects common mode noise.
Key Design Features of TEMPpoint Offering Unmatched Accuracy
48 dedicated 24-bit A/D converters for ultimate resolution
1000V Channel-to-Channel galvanic isolation for superior signal protection
Anytime auto-calibration guarantees accuracy
Automatic linearization of B, E, J, K, N, R, S, and T standard thermocouples
