The TC-08 is an 8 channel thermocouple to PC interface, it can measure the full range of temperatures from -270 °C to +1800 °C and works with all popular types (B,E,J,K,N,R,S,T). There is also a 60 mV range which can be used for other types of sensor.
The TC-08 is very easy to use — just plug into the serial port of your computer, connect a thermocouple and you are ready to measure temperatures.
