Data Translation Announces TEMPpoint Ultra-Accurate Thermocouple Measurement Instrument

MARLBORO, Mass., − September 18, 2007 − Data Translation, a leading solution
provider for data acquisition test and measurement, announces TEMPpoint – an easy to
use series of high accuracy temperature measurement instruments. Each TEMPpoint
instrument is a stand-alone box offering 48 separate 24-bit resolution inputs, each with its
own A/D converter and CJC, as well as a USB or Ethernet port for connecting to a PC.

"All aspects of each separate measurement, embodied through features not available in
any other instrument, are handled automatically within the stand-alone box," states Fred
Molinari, President and CEO, Data Translation Inc. "Care was taken in the design of
TEMPpoint to protect signal integrity of all 48 channels in even the harshest
environments."

48 dedicated CJC circuits guarantee ultra-high (+/-0.01%) accuracy.
1000V Channel-to-Channel galvanic isolation for superior signal protection
Anytime auto-calibration guarantees accuracy
Automatic linearization of B, E, J, K, N, R, S, and T standard thermocouples
Expand to hundreds of channels by adding boxes to the network

Additional Features of TEMPpoint include:

TEMPpoint ships with a ready to measure comprehensive TEMPpoint application. The
TEMPpoint application is an executable program created with Measure Foundry. The
benefit for the user is that the application can be modified or expanded to meet a
particular need. The TEMPpoint application allows you to acquire temperature
measurements from up to 48 thermocouple or RTD channels, display, analyze, and save
data to disk, all without writing any code. Additionally, the TEMPpoint application
offers the ability to export data to other applications such as Microsoft Excel® and
MATLAB®. Additional information on other USB and LXI software supporting
TEMPpoint including IVI-COM drivers, .NET class libraries, and SDKs is available at
