We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Thermocouple",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Expansion for USB-based acquisition from
Agilent Technologies Europe, which we summarised at the time by saying "Family's stand-alone, modular capability accompanies a wide range of multifunction DAQ and digital input-output devices".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Precision measurement instruments described from
Cropico: "Full colour catalogue provides full information on micro-ohmmeters and specialist temperature measurement instrumentation".
In January 2007, we covered the news from Adept Scientific
concerning its PCI-2500 and USB-2500 series
- take a look at Data acquisition boards offer added features
which says: "Boards provide true multifunction high-speed performance with analogue inputs, waveform capable analogue outputs, 24 high-speed digital I/Os, four counter/quadrature inputs and two timer outputs".
Take a look also at the news release from QualMark, Read between the lines of test chamber specs,
as well as Compensation module ensures thermal equilibrium from BI Technologies Electronic Components Division,
and Multipin connectors promise versatile performance from ITT Electronic Components.
