KC-36 Thermocouple Logger

A real-time temperature acquisition and visualization unit with 36 K-type thermocouple inputs — built on National Instruments hardware, calibrated by Kineticore.

Overview

Research-Grade Temperature DAQ, Ready Out of the Box

The KC-36 acquires, plots and logs data from 36 K-type thermocouple inputs — two 16-channel NI-9213 modules plus one 4-channel NI-9211 — with all channels automatically calibrated before display or logging. Every value you see on screen and in your CSV is calibrated data, never raw.

  • Real-time multi-channel graphing with zoom, pan and export
  • CSV logging with per-channel thresholds and alarm highlighting
  • Calibrated accuracy: ±0.5 °C typical within 0–100 °C calibrated range
  • Quality modes: Speed, Balanced, Accuracy — with open-thermocouple detection
  • High-durability write mode protects data against power loss
  • View-Only mode for monitoring without file creation

⚠ Calibration notice: Calibration must be performed annually by Kineticore experts only. The device refuses uncalibrated operation and displays a warning if the calibration file is missing or expired — data integrity is never left to chance.
