Device Overview
The MadgeTech Titan S8 is a portable, multi-use industrial data logger with eight channels and a user-friendly touchscreen interface. This versatile logger
measures and records temperature, current, voltage and pulse simultaneously and displays data in real time. The Titan S8 is compatible for use with
many thermocouple, RTD or thermistor probes as well as a number of voltage output sensors, current switches, transmitters and transducers.
Versatility makes Titan S8 the perfect companion for industrial engineers, quality assurance professionals, compliance oicers or automotive
technicians. The Titan S8 is very easy to use and configure via the built in capacitive touchscreen graphic display.
The Titan S8 is a powerful, independent tool. Unlike many other data loggers, the Titan S8 delivers an all-in-one data collection and monitoring solution
that does not require a PC or any downloaded soware for operation.
