myPCProbe - Pt100 Version

Description

myPCProbe is a novel concept, an industrial probe with built in USB data acquisition, which connects to a PC via a standard USB port. Applications that need the temperature of a sample recording quickly and easily will benefit from this device. From hobbyists to scientists, from simple technical tasks to complex engineering activities, myPCProbe can be an invaluable tool for online monitoring and data logging for schools, laboratory research, machine data recording, Quality Control and industrial R&D.

It comes with intuitive easy-to-use Windows software (an updated version of the myPCLab software - now handles both the myPCLab and the myPCProbe) which plots and records data, shows gauges, bargraphs and digital readouts. The USB port is accessed as a virtual serial port, which makes myPCProbe compatible with any SCADA software with Modbus RTU drivers or with any program with ASCII serial communication. Multiple units of myPCProbe and myPCLab can be connected to the same computer.

Software and USB connection lead included.
