Temperature Probe Interface

The PT-104 is a platinum resistance thermometer-to-PC converter that offers the ultimate in temperature accuracy and resolution. The device can measure up to 0.001 degrees C accuracy and 0.01 degrees C resolution using industry-standard PT100 and PT1000 sensors.

Offering additional advantages of remote access and interrogation, the converter is inherently accurate as a result of its novel design. Although accurate temperature sensors are widely available, before now it has been extremely difficult to take advantage of them because of errors caused by the measuring devices. To obtain this level of accuracy, the device uses extremely stable low-drift EEPROM-calibrated reference resistors and a 24- bit ADC. Compatible with two-, three-, and four-wire sensors, the converter is calibrated for 0ý375 W for measurements requiring high accuracy.

The converter is supplied with PicoLog software that automatically detects which sensor is connected and displays readings in the correct units. Additionally, software drivers for most OSs are supplied with the device, with USB connection optional.

The PT-104 is available for $520.
