The MCR Series Multichannel Recorders are 4-channel battery operated data loggers that can be connected together in groups of 4 units to provide simultaneous measurement and recording of up to 16 channels with combinations of thermocouple and voltage inputs. The MCR-4V is designed to logging voltages (selectable ranges: ±300mV; ±1.5V; ±6V; and ±24V) at up to 500Hz to an internal memory for up to 480,000 readings. The MCR-4TC is designed to measure thermocouple sensors (compatible types: K, J, T, S and R) at up to 500Hz with an internal memory for up to 960,000 readings. Each recorder has an integrated LCD with a 0.01mV resolution.
The MCR Series Multichannel Recorder is a 4 channel data logger, for voltage or thermocouple inputs. Voltage ranges available on the MCR-4V are: ±300mV; ±1.5V; ±6V; or ±24V, whilst the MCR-4TC allows for K-Type, J-Type, T-Type, S-Type or R-Type thermocouple inputs. The maximum logging rate 100HZ on all four channels, 200HZ on two channels, or 500Hz on a single channel. Up to 4 separate loggers can be interconnected to provide more channels, higher speed logging or a larger internal memory, plus the option to add both MCR-4V and MCR-4TC in a single group is possible. The Master unit on the left side will then control the recording on all the slave units to the right to ensure continuity of the logged data across all interconnected units. Recorded data can also be auto exported to an SD memory card in each unit, the internal memory is not deleted when auto exporting.
Auto Data Export to SD Memory Card
To prevent data loss even when the internal memory becomes full, it is possible to automatically export recorded data to an SD memory card by enabling the “Auto Data Export” feature. This feature allows continuous recording over a long period of time even with short recording intervals. Data in the internal memory is not erased when the auto export function is used, but the last recording session data will be overwritten in the internal memory once the internal memory becomes full. To avoid this, data should be manually deleted.
Checking Data in Real Time
By switching the LCD display between the real-time measurement and the trend graph display, it is possible to constantly check the flow of data.
