Introduction

This section contains general information about the Model
2001-TCSCAN General Purpose/Thermocouple Scanner
Card, which is designed to be used with the Model 2000,
2001, 2002, and 2010 DMMs to make accurate multi-channel
thermocouple measurements. The DMMs will automatically
convert type J, K, T, E, R, S, and B thermocouple voltages to
Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin temperature readings.
The Model 2001-TCSCAN can also be used for a variety of
nine-channel, mixed-signal switching applications. The
500nV-125V signal voltage range of the Model 2001-
TCSCAN makes it well suited for both low and high signal
levels.
