Easy to setup and use

We use this to acquire thermocouple readings in our R&D lab. Being able to use it in several different areas of our lab makes it a worthwhile product for us. Had zero issues setting it up and have not had any issues using it so far. Would recommend for data acquisitions in a lab without hesitation.

Great Product

Great thermocouple DAQ. It was easy to wire up and start record temperature data. Can be hooked up directly to computer network port without additional router or network switch. Highly recommend it for remote temperature data acquisition.

Is it possible to measure voltage in the range of +-128mV using this device, using NI labview?

Answers

Voltage measurements using the E-TC and our ULx for NI LabVIEW is not a supported option. A suitable workaround is to use the .NET functions within LabVIEW to create a .NET object that will communicate with Universal Library for Windows. If both thermocouple and voltage measurements are needed then perhaps the USB-2408 is a better choice for a DAQ device. https://www.mccdaq.com/usb-data-acquisition/USB-2408-Series.aspx

Can this be integrated directly into a SCADA that uses an OPC/Modbus/DNP3 interface without using the DAQami?

Answers

The E-TC is not OPC/Modbus/DNP compliant. The use of one of our software applications, e.g. DAQami is required for communication over the Ethernet bus.

we need to measure 20+ channel of thermocouple and 4+ voltage input to measure pressure and/or pulse So can DAQami record the data from multiples E-TC and others modules at the same time ?????

Answers

Multiple E-TC and E-1608 DAQ modules can be combined to increase your channel count. Regrettably, DAQami does not support multiple devices. For an out of the box application that will support multiple DAQ devices you would have to use TracerDAQ PRO. TracerDAQ PRO supports up to 48 inputs from any number of MCC USB or Ethernet devices. Another software option that is easy to use would be DASYLab.

Monitoring TCs and counting line cycles for a life test operating up to 10khr but also need to monitor AC voltage. Need small ethernet capable package to do this. E-TC would seem ideal except for no analog input for line voltage measurement. Is there a solution that can do this similar to the E-TC?

Answers

You are correct in that the E-TC will not support an AC input. You could, however, use the E-TC and our E-1608 for your voltage measurements. Please be aware in that the E-1608 supports a max input range of +-10 VDC or Volts-Peak so your AC signal will need to be conditioned prior to using the E-1608 DAQ device.
