Probes

Plug this probe directly into a USB port and read accurate temperatures on your PC. No extra boxes or data acquisition cards. Unit is powered by USB port requiring no batteries, adapters, or charging. Probe measures temperatures from -40°F to 257°F (-40 to 125°C) with a resolution to 0.1° full range.

Seven probe configurations are available to fit any application. Select a fast response probe for food measurements, an air or gas probe for environmental readings, or a between pack foil probe for taking readings between biological packs. Each probe connects directly to your qualified PDA handheld or PC.

Software
Each probe includes basic communication software (USB Lite) for basic monitoring and recording to Excel. Free for download are two additional software packages; ThermaPalm Basic Plus and ThermaData Studio. Download ThermaPalm Basic Plus if you're connecting your USB Probe to a PDA handheld device for capturing checklist-type temperatures attached with user name, date/time, location, and remedial notes.

Download ThermaData Studio from our secure website if you're connecting your USB Probe to a PC for real-time datalogging with graphing, statistical analysis, chart recording, and storage to the PC.

Custom Software
If you're using PDAs already and want to add temperature to your HACCP program, call us and we'll email you the drivers to connect the USB Probe to your qualified device. Call for details.
