Latest thermocouple amplifier gives automatic transducer identification

HBM: The MX1609 module simplifies taking temperature measurements to reduce test procedure times and give cost savings of over 30%.

Because temperature is the most common parameter measured, the MX1609 is fitted with 16 electrically-isolated thermocouple inputs with automatic transducer identification.

The compact module is designed as part of the QuantumX family with complete transducer data digitally stored in the connector for instant viewing using appropriate software.

The MX1609 module provides synchronous, parallel measurement with integrated cold junction compensation and supports the widely-used type-K thermocouples (NiCr-Ni).

Several QuantumX modules can be easily connected together in a measurement system using FireWire. Alternatively the integrated Ethernet interface provides convenient connection to a PC – even over long distances – when used as a stand-alone module.

HBM provides powerful software for measurement and analysis that includes QuantumX-Assistant, LabView driver, .NET/COM programming libraries, and catman®AP data acquisition software.

QuantumX also features extensive module and sensor diagnostics functions to complement transducer identification ensuring additional measurement and analysis benefits.
