Introduction
1.1
Overview
The USB TC-08 is a temperature and voltage logger designed to support multiple thermocouples. With
the accompanying PicoLog software, the unit can be used with any laptop or PC running Windows
98SE, ME, 2000, XP, and higher. If you are technically-minded and want to tailor the product to a
particular application, you can write your own programs with the supplied driver.
The driver provides  cold junction compensation for thermocouples. PicoLog supports up to 10 USB
TC-08 devices and the driver can support more (as many as 64, if you have a high-specification PC.)
This manual describes the physical and electrical properties of the USB TC-08, and provides an
explanation of how to use the software drivers. For information on PicoLog, please consult the PicoLog
help file.
