The isolated RTD/Thermocouple module supports current, voltage, RTD, resistance,
thermocouple and millivolt type inputs. The module digitally converts and stores analog
data from any combination mentioned above. Each input channel is individually
configured via software for a specific input device, data format, filter frequency, and
provides open-circuit, over-range, under-range detection and indication.
The tables below list the input types and their associated ranges.
