|

Hi,
I would like to know which is the maximum cable length I can use with USB TC08. My application involves measuring very low voltages (between 200 and 1000 microV) with type T tc's.
Thanks |

Hi and thank you for your post.
The USB specification is 5 meters, if you wish to extend it further you can use a USB hub or there are other manufacturers who can do much longer extensions on USB cables, e.g USB to Ethernet and back again.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards |

| Then cable length doesn't influence either signal quality or power supply to the TC-08? |

It may very well do, what I am saying is that it should be fine at up to 5 meters, however if you wanted a longer lengths then you would have to use the appropriate devices.
Kind regards |

|
|
I have used a my USB-TC-08 with a USB to ethernet equipment, but I have a problem. It worked for about 2 days. Then the program freezed and I had to close down the computer. This was when it was connected to a USB1-port. I tried again and connected it to a USB2-port. It worked for 3 days. I pulled out the USB-cable from the computer and set it back again. It worked for another day.
I had an old versio of picolog so I upgraded to 5.20.1 and now the program doesn't frezze anymore. But the loggervalue freezes after a while.
I disabled enegrysaving for the USB-port but that didn“t help. |
