General Information

The TSP01 is a device in the size of a USB thumb drive that can be plugged to any free USB
port for reading up to three different temperature values and relative humidity.
The combined humidity and temperature sensor is embedded into the USB stick, a second
NTC temperature sensor is included and can be connected to the housing. A third optional
temperature sensor can be plugged to the USB housing. External temperature sensors can be
Thorlabs TSP-TH or any other NTC type sensors. The software allows to enter individual NTC
parameters, such as R0 (reference resistance), T0 (reference temperature) and the B
coefficient.
The data can be displayed in the GUI or can be embedded into existing software, e.g. Thorlabs
Beam Profiler Software.
