PR500105 - Land Instruments International has simplified the task of downloading and analysing the temperature measurements of reheat and reformer tube furnaces taken by its Cyclops 153 and FurnacePro portable infrared thermometer.
The new Cyclops DL-1000 Data Logging System combines Land's own software with a Pocket PC on which readings can be stored and then transferred to a partnership PC as a .txt file, for display and analysis using wordprocessing and spreadsheet programs.
A number of readings of the furnace background temperature are made until a satisfactory average measurement has been recorded. The user can then take readings of the tube temperature itself, each of which is adjusted for reflection errors by the Data Logging System's error correction program to yield the true temperature.
A choice of options is offered at the start of each measurement logging session, including thermometer type, temperature units and text identifier. A timed acquisition function can be set to record temperature data at pre-determined intervals from 1 to 3,600 seconds.
The Cyclops DL-1000 Data Logging System can be purchased as an add-on to Cyclops thermometers already in use, or specified when buying a new instrument. It is also available with or without Pocket PC.
