Harvey,
I had a similar job for about 300 TC's.  I needed to
digitize them at 100 Hz so chose a CAMAC multiplexor &
transient digitizer solution (old,free modules are cheap!).
But before I made that decision, I was strongly looking into
an HP solution, the 34970A.  It is a fancy DMM with local
data logging and software.   It has GPIB and rs-232
interface.  I think you can connect 60 TC per DMM, ~$2,500.

-ps

upgrade.  There will be about 40 TCs on 18 girders
distributed around the 230m ring circumference.

second intervals.  We have a couple of quotes from PLC
vendors, but they are fairly expensive.

accomplish our task?  Of course the aim is to get the
temperatures into an IOC.
