1,000-V isolation creates 48 separate instruments.

The TEMPpoint DT9872 is a PC-based instrument that performs direct RTD measurements. It features instantaneous stabilization, a new capability needed for WIMAX, semiconductor testing, and bio-analytical testing applications.

The DT9872 has 48 dedicated 24-bit A/D converters and eight opto-isolated digital input and output lines for monitoring, controlling, and driving relays. Simultaneous throughput is across all channels at rates up to 7.5-Hz/channel. The 2U rack-mountable instrument provides an RTD temperature range of -200[degrees]C to 850[degrees]C.

The TEMPpoint application software, created with Measure Foundry, supports a chart recorder to view, analyze, and save all 48 channels; exports directly to Excel; and can be modified or expanded. The channel overview includes a digital readout of all 48 channels in one window. Post-analysis, zoom, and print functions are provided in the file viewer.

Thermocouple and voltage models for USB and Ethernet (LXI) also are available. Data Translation, www.rsleads.com/803ee-194
