TC-08 thermocouple data logger The TC‑08 thermocouple data logger offers industry-leading performance and a costeffective temperature measurement solution. With eight direct thermocouple inputs, the TC‑08 can take accurate, rapid readings. In addition, you can use up to 20 units simultaneously on one PC. The logger can measure and record temperatures ranging from −270 °C to +1820 °C using the appropriate thermocouple type (B, E, J, K, N, R, S, T). It draws power from your computer’s USB port, so no external power supply is necessary. Wide temperature range The TC-08 thermocouple data logger...

PicoLog Cloud software – straightforward from the start PicoLog Cloud is a complete data acquisition software package for the TC‑08 data logger, and is fully compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux and Raspberry Pi OS. With its clear and user-friendly layout, ideal for use with a mouse or a touchscreen, PicoLog 6 allows you to set up the logger and start recording with just a few clicks of the mouse, whatever your level of data logging experience. Set up simple or advanced acquisitions quickly, and record, view and analyze your data with ease. Capture control Record, Pause or Reset. Save and...

Introducing PicoLog Cloud Building on the proven design of PicoLog 6, PicoLog Cloud is a free upgrade that introduces many great features, expanding the capabilities of your Pico data logger. Whether you’re an established user or a newcomer, you will benefit from the following new additions: • • • • • • • • • Live captures streamed directly to the new PicoLog Cloud Secure and reliable storage Viewing of live and saved captures from a remote computer running PicoLog Cloud, anywhere in the world Viewing of live and saved captures on any device (smart phone, tablet, PC) using an internet...

Can I view captures on my smartphone or tablet? PicoLog 6 has always been based on a framework that uses Chromium (Google’s opensource browser) and Java, meaning it is already “browser ready”. It couldn’t be easier to use! Navigate to the URL picolog.app in any browser and log into your PicoLog Cloud account. This gives you instant and secure access to all your live and saved Cloud captures on any internet-connected smart device, anywhere in the world. Some browsers such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge make it possible to “install” PicoLog Cloud as a PWA (progressive web app), so it...

Raspberry Pi support The TC‑08 works great when connected to personal computers running Windows, macOS and Linux. Now, with support for Raspberry Pi OS on armhf processors, the TC‑08 works with Raspberry Pi 4 and the current 3B and 3B+ computers. You can now connect the TC-08 to the Pi and remove the keyboard, mouse and video monitor to make an inexpensive standalone logger that stores captured data locally on an SD card. Furthermore, connecting your Pi by WiFi or Ethernet, you can internet-enable your Pico logger, which you can then access remotely using a freely available open-source VNC...

Math channels Sometimes you need to use data from one or more measurement channels to graph and record a calculated parameter. You can use the PicoLog 6 equation editor to set up simple math channels such as A–B or more complex functions such as log, sqrt, abs, round, min, max, mean and median. In PicoLog 6, you can set up alarms to alert you to various events. These can be as simple or as complex as you like: alarms can trigger on a signal threshold or disconnection of the data logger, or you can set up a logic expression of your own. Alarms can play sounds, display visual alerts, run...
