The 1586A is an ideal instrument for temperature distribution testing, temperature validation, sensor calibration, and various other temperature-related applications. It is widely used in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, food, aerospace, and automotive industries for temperature distribution, sensor calibration, and temperature measurement tasks.

In addition to temperature measurement, it also offers many features commonly found in general-purpose data acquisition systems. Therefore, it is not only suitable for applications requiring extensive multi-channel temperature measurement but also fulfills various functions needed for general data acquisition.

· Measures thermocouples, RTDs, thermistors, DC voltage and current, and resistance

· Highest temperature measurement accuracy in the industry

· Input channels: Up to 40 universal input channels

· Flexible configuration options: Built-in and external terminal modules

· Selectable scan speeds, up to 10 channels per second

· Multiple functional modes: Scan, Monitor, Measure, and Digital Multimeter (DMM) mode

· Real-time color trend graphs: Supports up to 4 channels simultaneously

The 1586A can operate in four different modes: Scan, Monitor, Measure, or as a digital multimeter. Scanning involves sequential measurements of channels based on user-defined settings. Monitoring allows observing a single channel during scanning without interrupting the process. Measuring enables recording data from a single channel without requiring configuration. The Digital Multimeter (DMM) mode functions like a standard multimeter, allowing quick front-panel measurements of DC voltage, current, and 2-wire or 4-wire resistance without any setup.
