Independent recording of high and low temperatures has been made both affordable and easy to implement with the introduction of the EL-USB-TC temperature USB data logger from Lascar Electronics.
The EL-USB-TC is the latest addition to the EL-USB range of standalone data loggers. The EL-USB-TC accepts an input from a K, J, or T type thermocouple and can measure and record temperatures from -200ºC to +1300°C, depending on the sensor used.
Each data logger is supplied with a copy of Lascar’s EL-WIN-USB software, a K-type probe and a ½AA lithium battery to power the data logger. With the data logger plugged into the USB port, this allows the user to quickly set-up the data logger. Options include logger name, sample rate, high and low alarm and delayed start time. Once the study is complete, the software is also used to download the data which is saved in .txt format. This file can be graphed within the EL-WIN-USB software or exported to Excel for further analysis.
