Data Translation Announces TEMPpoint Thermocouple Instrument
MARLBORO, MA - November 2, 2007 − Data Translation announces TEMPpoint - an easy to use series of high accuracy temperature measurement instruments. Each TEMPpoint instrument is a stand-alone box offering 48 separate 24-bit resolution inputs, each with its own A/D converter and CJC, as well as a USB or Ethernet port for connecting to a PC.

“All aspects of each separate measurement, embodied through features not available in any other instrument, are handled automatically within the stand-alone box,” states Fred Molinari, President and CEO, Data Translation Inc. “Care was taken in the design of TEMPpoint to protect signal integrity of all 48 channels in even the harshest environments.“

Key Design Features of TEMPpoint Offering Unmatched Accuracy
  • 48 dedicated 24-bit A/D converters for ultimate resolution
  • 48 dedicated CJC circuits guarantee ultra-high (+/-0.01%) accuracy.
  • 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
  • Expand to hundreds of channels by adding boxes to the network

    Additional Features of TEMPpoint include:
  • Constant throughput across all channels at rates up to 15Hz per channel
  • Thermocouple Easy Connect for fast setup
  • 8 opto-isolated digital input lines for monitoring
  • 8 opto-isolated digital output lines for driving relays

    Software Support for TEMPpoint
    TEMPpoint ships with a ready to measure comprehensive TEMPpoint application. The TEMPpoint application is an executable program created with Measure Foundry. The benefit for the user is that the application can be modified or expanded to meet a particular need. The TEMPpoint application allows you to acquire temperature measurements from up to 48 thermocouple or RTD channels, display, analyze, and save data to disk, all without writing any code. Additionally, the TEMPpoint application offers the ability to export data to other applications such as Microsoft Excel and MATLAB.

    Pricing and Availability
    TEMPpoint pricing starts at $6,995 and is available in four separate versions: Thermocouple inputs for USB, RTD inputs for USB, Thermocouple inputs for Ethernet (LXI), and RTD inputs for Ethernet (LXI). The Thermocouple USB version is shipping in early October. Other versions will begin shipping shortly thereafter.
