Description

The Digilent MCC USB-2001-TC is a dedicated data acquisition module designed for high-accuracy thermocouple temperature measurement. Its core is a 20-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that processes signals from supported thermocouple types, delivering reliable data at a 4 S/s sample rate. The device incorporates a built-in cold junction compensation (CJC) sensor to correct for ambient temperature effects at the connection terminal, a critical feature for maintaining measurement integrity.

Engineered for diagnostic robustness, the module includes an open-thermocouple detection (OTD) circuit. This system actively monitors the input channel for open-circuit conditions, driving the input outside the normal thermocouple voltage range to trigger a software-readable “OTD” status. The compact form factor is powered entirely via the USB connection, eliminating the need for external power supplies and simplifying integration into test benches, educational labs, and industrial monitoring setups.

Key Features

  • Single-channel thermocouple input with a standard miniature connector for quick sensor hookup.
  • High-precision 20-bit ADC ensures fine resolution for accurate temperature data conversion.
  • Integrated cold junction compensation sensor eliminates the need for external CJC hardware.
  • Open-thermocouple detection (OTD) provides immediate feedback on sensor connection integrity.
  • Software-programmable thermocouple type selection (J, K, R, S, T, N, E, B) stored on the device.
  • USB bus-powered operation for a clean, portable setup without separate power adapters.
  • Broad software support including DAQami, LabVIEW, Python, .NET (C#, VB), and Linux drivers.
  • Compact and lightweight design ideal for benchtop measurements and embedded system integration.

Applications

  • Laboratory and educational benchtop temperature measurement and data logging.
  • Industrial process monitoring and control for ovens, kilns, and environmental chambers.
  • Prototyping and testing embedded systems that require precise thermal feedback.
  • Research and development setups for material science and thermal analysis.
  • Portable field data acquisition for environmental and agricultural temperature sensing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What software can I use to program and read data from the USB-2001-TC?

The device is supported by Measurement Computing's DAQami application for out-of-the-box data logging and visualization. Drivers are also provided for integration into popular development environments including National Instruments LabVIEW, Python via the uldaq library, and Microsoft's .NET framework (C#, VB.NET). For Linux systems, open-source drivers are available to interface with the hardware directly.

How do I configure the device for a specific thermocouple type (e.g., Type K)?

The thermocouple type is configured entirely in software. Using the provided API (e.g., in Python or LabVIEW), you set the channel configuration to the desired type (J, K, R, S, T, N, E, or B). This setting is stored on the device itself, so it persists between power cycles. No physical jumpers or hardware modifications are required for type selection.

What does 'Open-Thermocouple Detection (OTD)' do and how is it indicated?

OTD is a hardware feature that detects if the thermocouple sensor becomes disconnected (open circuit). The device drives the input to a voltage outside the normal thermocouple range. The software driver recognizes this invalid signal and returns a specific status code or value (often "OTD") instead of a temperature reading, allowing your application to alert the user or system to a faulty sensor connection.

Does the USB-2001-TC require an external power supply or additional hardware for cold junction compensation?

No, the module is fully bus-powered via its USB connection, requiring no external power adapter. It also has an integrated cold junction compensation (CJC) sensor built into the terminal block. This eliminates the need for a separate ice-point reference or CJC module, simplifying your setup and ensuring accurate readings by compensating for the temperature at the connection point.
