June 14, 2019 – Measurement Computing Corporation announced the release of the MCC 134 thermocouple measurement HAT for Raspberry Pi. The MCC 134 brings temperature measurement capability to the computer. The device features four thermocouple (TC) inputs capable of measuring the most popular TC types including J, K, R, S, T, N, E, and B. Each channel type is selectable on a per-channel basis. The MCC 134 features 24-bit resolution and provides professional-grade accuracy.
Open thermocouple detection lets users monitor for broken or disconnected thermocouples. Up to eight MCC HATs can be stacked onto one Raspberry Pi. With the already available MCC 118, eight channel voltage measurement HAT and the MCC 152 voltage output and digital I/O HAT, users can configure multifunction, Pi-based solutions with analog input, output, and digital I/O. The growing base of Raspberry Pi users is making single board computers more prevalent in professional DAQ applications. The open-source MCC DAQ HAT Library of commands in C/C++ and Python allows users to develop applications on Linux.
The library is available to download from GitHub. Comprehensive API and hardware documentation are also provided.
