Introducing the USB-2001-TC
The USB-2001-TC is supported under the following operating systems:
 Microsoft Windows 7/Vista/XP (32-bit or 64-bit)
 Macintosh (32-bit or 64-bit)
 Linux (32-bit or 64-bit)
The USB-2001-TC is a USB 2.0 full-speed device. It is designed for USB 2.0 ports, and was tested for full
compatibility with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports.
The USB-2001-TC provides one thermocouple input channel. Thermocouple types J, K, R, S, T, N, E, and B
are supported. The thermocouple type is software programmable and stored on the device. A 20-bit ADC
processes the data conversions.
Thermocouple input ranges are ±73.125 mV (calibrated) and ±146.25 mV, (not calibrated). The ±146.25 mV
range is used for open thermocouple detection.
The device has an integrated cold junction compensation (CJC) sensor for thermocouple measurements. An
open thermocouple detection feature lets you detect a broken thermocouple.
The USB-2001-TC is a standalone plug-and-play module which draws power from the USB cable. No external
power supply is required.
The USB-2001-TC ships with DAQFlex software. All configurable options are software programmable. The
device is fully software calibrated.
