Description
XL2 Data logger
The intelligent XL2 data logger will indicate if your process is out of control immediately upon exit from the oven. At the oven exit, remove from the protective thermal barrier and check the indicator on the MemoryPaq. A green LED means a successful run while red indicates a problem. Corrective action can then be taken to rectify any process problems.
The XL2 data logger features include:
- Temperature measurement range: -200°C to 1370°C (-328°F to 2498°F) (type K thermocouples)
- Simply 'plug & go', auto detection by software and auto TI configuration
- USB download from the MemoryPaq
- Sampling interval: 0.5 sec. to 50 min
- Memory capacity: 4MB
- Up to 16 measurement locations
- Onboard calibration data and service history file
