Yokogawa 701261 Universal Voltage & Temperature Input Module

The Yokogawa 701261 is a two-channel universal input module for simultaneous voltage and temperature measurement. It acquires DC voltage, AC voltage, and thermocouple signals across 12 thermocouple types (K, E, J, T, L, U, N, R, S, B, W, iron-doped gold/chromel) plus RTD inputs. The module delivers 16-bit resolution on voltage channels with ±0.25% accuracy and 0.1°C temperature resolution, making it suitable for precision industrial process monitoring, environmental characterization, and laboratory research.
