DI-245 Heat Flux Sensor Data Logger

DI-245 Heat Flux Sensor Datalogger. Features 4 analog input channels programmable as a thermocouple or voltage input, 16-bit measurement resolution, and a full scale range of ±10mV to ±50V for voltage measurements or Thermocouple types J, K, T, B, R, S, E, or N.

Model DI-245 is a low-cost data acquisition system that offers the performance of products many times its price. Four analog input chan-nels adapt to a wide range of measurement types and applications. Each channel can be programmed to make a thermocouple or voltage measurement. Programmed as a voltage channel you can select one of twelve measurement ranges supporting full scale values from ±10 mV to ±50 V. Programmed as a thermocouple channel you can select from eight thermocouple types: J,K,T,B,R,S,E,N.

Virtually any measurement will experience a difference in ground potential between the instrument, the signal source, and even between signal sources. Known as common mode voltages, these potential differences will cause noisy measurements in the best case or dam-age to the instrument in the worst case unless it’s specifically designed to tolerate them. Each analog input of the DI-245 is electrically isolated from other channels and from ground for safe and accurate measurements in the presence of common mode voltages. Channel isolation means that each analog input is free to float to an independent common mode voltage imposed upon it by the signal source, and still provide an accurate and noise-free measurement.
