What Are C Series Temperature Input Modules?

C Series Temperature Input Modules measure signals from sensors such as thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). Use these products to acquire, condition, and digitize signals in varied temperature ranges and environments.

Easily Connect to Thermocouples

C Series Temperature Input Modules and the accompanying NI software make it fast to connect thermocouples and RTDs to the module and begin testing, expediting your time to first test.

Program in C, .NET, and More

C Series Temperature Input Modules work with our free NI-DAQmx driver. You can take advantage of our documentation and example programs to begin programming your temperature tests in the programming language of your choosing—including LabVIEW, Python, C, or C#.NET—for flexibility.

Acquire Thermocouple Data Without Programming

Using C Series Temperature Input Modules, you easily can gather temperature data from thermocouples and RTDs. You can avoid programming using FlexLogger™ application software: Spend time gathering data, not learning a new language.

Featured Content

V-Motech, a powertrain testing start-up, used CompactRIO, Temperature Input Modules, and other I/O modules to build the first mobile climatic chassis dynamometer.

To be successful in your temperature tests, you should be able to compare thermocouples, RTDs, and thermistors, and select the right measurement type for your application.

Before you use the C Series Temperature Input Module, you should understand the operations theory and considerations surrounding the three types of temperature-measurement sensors.
