The Spider-80Ti is a front-end from the Spider-80Xi hardware platform that enables temperature measurement. Spider-80Ti supports temperature measurements from Thermocouples and RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) sensors.
Each Spider-80Ti front-end adds 16 temperature measurement channels to the Spider-80Xi system. A Spider-80Ti front-end is user-configurable to support either a PT100 RTD sensor or a K-type Thermocouple. A combination of RTDs and thermocouples within the same Spider system can also be achieved by combining the front-ends configured as RTDs and Thermocouples.
Spider-80Ti is equipped with a 24-bit Sigma-Delta Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) per channel to ensure highly accurate temperature measurements with any type of sensor. Together with the user-configurable non-linearity correction, the accuracy of the measurements is ensured over a wide range of temperature measurements.
The Spider-80Xi chassis can either be configured exclusively for temperature measurements using the Spider-80Ti front-end or can be configured for mixed signal data acquisition by combing the Spider-80Ti with Spider-80Hi, Spider-80Ci, or Spider-80SGi. A choice of Spider 80Xi chassis with 4 front-end slots or 8 front-end slots is available.
The efficient design of the Spider-80Xi chassis eliminates individual enclosures for each modular front-end to minimize the overall dimensions of the system. Its lightweight makes it ideal for applications requiring portability and an efficient size without the need to exchange front-ends during operation.
