Titan S8
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
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 the Titan S8 a perfect companion for industrial engineers, quality assurance professionals, compliance officers or
automotive technicians. The Titan S8’s touchscreen user interface allows for easy set up and configuration.
The Titan S8 is a powerful, independent tool. Unlike 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 software for operation.
