k thermocouple and adc20 terminal board

Post by jjones »

How can I fit several thermocouples to the adc terminal board and then convert the mV to °C?

Hi well you will need a cold junction chip really, if you read the terminal board manual this will provide you with information on how to do this. However this is only for one channel.

Really the USB-TC08 is designed for having multiple channels.

Why do you want to use the ADC20? Do you know that you can use an ADC20 and USB-TC08 together. In fact you can have up 20 USB devices.
