PicoLog TC-08 — 8-channel Thermocouple Data Logger
USB-powered 8-channel thermocouple data logger with cold-junction compensation, support for B, E, J, K, N, R, S and T thermocouples, 20-bit resolution and up to 10 samples per second.
| Model | Inputs | Resolution | Rate | Power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TC-08 | 8 thermocouple inputs + CJC | 20-bit | 10 samples/s | USB powered |
Key Features
Eight Thermocouple Inputs
Connect up to eight thermocouples directly using miniature thermocouple connectors, with internal cold-junction compensation.
Wide Thermocouple Support
Supports B, E, J, K, N, R, S and T thermocouple types for cryogenic, process, oven and general temperature logging.
20-bit Measurement Resolution
High measurement resolution supports fine temperature trends; with a K-type thermocouple Pico states 0.025 °C resolution over a wide range.
USB-connected and Powered
The logger is powered through USB and works as a compact laptop-based measurement solution.
Local and Cloud Logging
Use PicoLog 6 and PicoLog Cloud workflows for local recording, remote sharing and long-duration temperature monitoring.
SDK / API Workflow
Stream measurements into custom applications through PicoSDK or PicoLog Cloud API for dashboards and automated records.
