The new loggers are available in three models: the SP-1700-20N that allows a single thermocouple input, the SP-1700-30N that allows two thermocouple probe connections and the SP-1700-50N that allows four thermocouple inputs.
The SP-1700-N models have an input signal range of -7.2 to 8.8 millivolts that is compatible with the most popular thermocouple types.

Spectrum 1700 series data loggers are miniature stand-alone devices developed for in-field recording of type J, K, S, T, E and R thermocouple temperature probes.
The units feature an integral ten-year battery and non-volatile memory and can be used to replace chart recorders and hard-wired data acquisition systems.
Palm-sized, the data loggers are compact enough to record data in locations not possible with conventional recording systems, such as in small process control panels or inside other instrumentation systems.
Designed for long-term operation in harsh industrial and field applications, the data loggers are equipped with automatic cold junction temperature compensation that enables them to be placed in environments ranging from -40 to 85ø C.
(-40 to 185ø F.).
The units feature a high degree of immunity from electrical interference and physical shock and vibration allowing them to be mounted on or near large electrically-powered equipment or systems.
The non-volatile EEPROM memory ensures long-term data protection in the event of damage to the unit.
Ideally suited for Plant Operating Engineers, Researchers, Facility Operators, and Quality Control Personnel, Spectrum 1700 data loggers are used to diagnose, verify and document the performance of systems, equipment, and processes.
Spectrum 1700 thermocouple data loggers work with Spectrum Software, a menu-driven Windows 95, 98 and NT-compatible program and a data interface cable for downloading to any desktop or notebook PC.
The software creates automatically-scaled graphs, charts, and printouts for quick analysis and presentation.
Users can display data logger readings directly in Degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius or in millivolts.
Users can also export text files for use in other Windows spreadsheet, database or word processing programs.
Veriteq Instruments is a Canadian manufacturer specializing in miniature high performance data acquisition solutions for industry.
It was formed in 1994 in partnership with Piquant Research Ltd., an Electronics Research and Development firm with fifteen years of experience developing electronic systems and software solutions for industrial process control applications.
Veriteq manufactures the Spectrum and VL-series lines of compact precision data loggers and software for the measurement of common industrial variables including thermocouples, thermistors, analog voltage, current loops, and relative humidity.
