It allows querying and controlling up to 16 independent input channels. Each of these channels can be configured for the four most common standard thermocouples, types E, J, K, N, and T, or for thermistors, diodes, and Pt RTDs. The simultaneous polling of the input channels can be set in the range 1 - 50 Hz and can be low-pass filtered for noise suppression. Up to six independent PID control loops and three virtual channels for more complex calculations are supported. The temperature resolution is 1 mK and the exceeding of a programmed temperature threshold can be heard acoustically if required. A switchable relay output is also available.
