PicoScope USB TC-08 Thermocouple Data Logger
Temperature measurement and recording with the TC-08 is very easy — simply plug the TC-08 into a USB port on your computer, plug in your thermocouples, and you are ready to go.
8 channel Thermocouple data logger
- Measures from –270 to +1820 °C (–454 to +3308 °F)
- High resolution and accuracy
- Expandable to 20 units / 160 channels
- Supports all popular thermocouple types
- Fast sampling rate — up to 10 measurements per second (including CJC)
- USB connected and powered
- PicoLog for Windows data logging software included
- Windows, Mac OS X and Linux drivers included
Wide Temperature Range
The TC-08 thermocouple data logger is designed to measure a wide range of temperatures using any thermocouple that has a miniature size thermocouple connector. Additionally, the TC-08 can also measure other sensors using a 70 mV range.
Featuring built-in cold junction compensation (CJC), the TC-08 has an effective temperature range of -270 to +1820 °C (the actual temperature range depends on the thermocouple being used).
All the benefits of USB
The TC-08 connects to the USB port of a Windows based PC and enables the host PC to automatically detect the TC-08 — avoiding the need for any complex setup procedures.
The USB connection also allows the TC-08 to be powered directly by the USB bus — eliminating the need for an external power supply and making the TC-08 ideal for measuring temperatures both in the lab and in the field.
Measures up to 160 thermocouples simultaneously
The TC-08’s USB connectivity allows up to 20 TC-08 USB data loggers to be used simultaneously on one PC — making the TC-08 ideal for use as a large multi-channel temperature acquisition system with a cost per channel significantly lower than other systems of this size.
Fast and accurate Temperature data acquisition
With the TC-08 thermocouple data logger your measurements can be made both fast and accurately.
The low conversion time of the TC-08 means up to 10 temperature measurements can be taken every second. Whilst the high (20-bit) resolution ensures that the TC-08 can detect minute changes in temperature.
All you need in one easy-to-use unit
The USB TC-08 Single-Channel Terminal Board is an accessory for the USB TC-08 Thermocouple Data Logger.
The screw terminals allow wires to be attached to the data logger without soldering and enable the USB TC-08 to measure voltages from 0 to +5 V, or 4-20 mA loop current.

PicoLog Software
Some of the features of PicoLog are listed here. To see for yourself just how good it is,
- Collect up to 1 million samples.
- Easy and intuitive to use.
- Free upgrades and technical support.
- Supports 32– and 64–bit editions of Windows XP (SP2 and above), Vista and Windows 7.
- International language versions.
- Easy to set up and use with online help.
- Real–time data collection, analysis and display.
- Programmable alarm limits can be set for each channel.
- Data can be exported to spreadsheets and databases.
- Save multiple setups for different tests and experiments.
- Can be used with desktop or laptop PCs.
- Supports multiple loggers on the same PC.
- Uses your PC monitor to give large colour display, ideal for education and training.
- Waveforms can be saved, printed, faxed or emailed from your PC.
64–bit support is only available for USB products.
Multiple views
PicoLog displays data in a number of views, which can be activated as and when required. These views can be activated both during and after data collection.
Recorder View
Enables you to start/stop recording and specify recording files. It shows the current readings and alarm conditions for each channel. All settings such as scaling, channels and sampling are controlled from the recorder view.
XY graph view
Displays one parameter against another. Useful for plotting voltage against current, for example.
Spreadsheet View
Displays text data in a format that can be easily ‘copied and pasted’ into other applications. Data can also be saved to disk in standard ASCII text format.
Graph View
Graphs can be displayed both during and after data collection. Each channel can be displayed in its own graph or multiple channels can be displayed in the same graph. Axes can be set up manually, automatically or in chart recorder mode. Multipliers allow you to magnify areas of interest. Graphs can be ‘copied’ into the clipboard and then ‘pasted’ into reports.
Notes View
Notes view allows you to attach notes to data.
Player View
Displays previously recorded data. It enables you to scroll quickly through stored files to compare results on successive runs. The player can be used to examine old data whilst new data is still being recorded.

PicoScope Future Proof!
The recently introduced two-channel PicoScope 4225 and four-channel PicoScope 4425 are our 5th generation of automotive PC oscilloscopes. They are 5x faster and have 8x more memory than the previous generation, ensuring they are powerful enough for the next generation of vehicles with new technologies such as CAN FD.
Other innovations include new floating inputs for non-grounded measurements, higher input ranges and ConnectDetect to ensure you have a good connection. The new PicoScopes are also now USB 3.0 connected and powered.
When you purchase any diagnostic tool you not only spend money but you also spend time learning how best to use it. We protect that investment in two ways. First, we develop hardware and software that is easy to use for those starting out with oscilloscopes yet has the power and features demanded by experienced users. Second, we do not compromise on quality or specifications - expect the PicoScope you buy today to still be an essential part of your diagnostic tool box 10 years from now.
