PC with standard USB 2.0 cable and use the software TCX-Control. With this software, you can control all functions of one or more TC01/02 and it is also possible to read out the actual temperature values on your computer and save the data as a ".txt" file. Then you can import this file into your custom evaluation software, for example, to plot a temperature curve. - Page 18 Temperature Controller TC01/02 Manual Two windows show the temperature on the two channels. The scaling of the y-axis is adjusted automatically. The x-axis shows the absolute time taken from the system clock. The scale of the time axis can be altered in the "Scale" drop down menu. Find in each channel window a "Power"...
