The Phidgets USB Temperature Sensor (AKA PhidgetTemperatureSensor), can be used with E, K, J, and T-type thermocouples. When connected to a K-Type thermocouple, the PhidgetTemperatureSensor can measure temperatures from -200 to +1200 degrees Celsius. The temperature range varies with the type of thermocouple being used. The Phidgets USB Temperature Sensor outputs the temperature in Degrees Celsius or as the Potential Voltage generated by the thermocouple probe.
Cold Junction Compensation- The temperature at the point where the thermocouple wires return to the PhidgetTemperatureSensor (the cold junction) must be taken into account. Measurement of this temperature allows for the compensation of temperature variations of the Phidget that would affect the thermocouple voltages. In the case of the PhidgetTemperatureSensor, an on-board temperature sensor continually monitors the board temperature near the connector and provides the data required by the Phidget APIs to adjust for this.
