Data Translation Announces MEASURpoint Ultra Accurate Instrument for Correlation of Temperature and Voltage Measurements



MARLBORO, MA - July 28, 2009 - Data Translation announces MEASURpoint(TM) a highly accurate, multipurpose single instrument solution for measuring any combination of RTD, thermocouple, and voltage ranges from 300µV to 400V.

"MEASURpoint is the first instrument of its kind that allows the user to simultaneously correlate temperature and voltage measurements." according to Fred Molinari, Founder and CEO of Data Translation. "A broad array of applications including Li-ion and fuel cell battery measurement, hybrid electric vehicle battery performance, thermal battery management, and portable equipment measurement are now simplified."

MEASURpoint incorporates proprietary ISO-Channel(TM) technology that makes measurements almost indestructible and eliminates any common mode noise and ground loop problems under all environmental conditions. In addition, up to forty-eight configurable input channels in groupings of eight voltage, thermocouple, and RTD inputs offer ultimate flexibility to the user.
