General
Maximum voltage	30 V CAT I

The Metrix HX0035B is a Probix / K-thermocouple adapter as accessory for SCOPIX oscilloscopes of the OX 9000 and OX 7000 series. It enables precise temperature measurement with K-thermocouple sensors and allows for simple, error-free operation through the integrated Plug-and-Play system. When connected to the oscilloscope, the adapter is automatically recognised, enabling the device to independently perform the necessary settings for temperature measurement linearisation. The automatic compensation of reference junction temperature and control of the measurement unit are also handled by the oscilloscope, simplifying operation and increasing measurement accuracy.

Applications

The adapter is suitable for various applications in laboratory environments, research, development, and industrial production. With a measurement range of -40 °C to 1250 °C, it covers a broad temperature range sufficient for many technical and scientific measurement tasks. It is particularly used in areas requiring precise temperature data, such as monitoring electronic components, thermal processes, or in quality control.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The HX0035B enables direct integration of a K-thermocouple sensor into the SCOPIX oscilloscope system. Temperature measurement linearisation is performed by the oscilloscope, converting the non-linear characteristic of the thermocouple into a linear scale. The automatic conversion of temperature values and selection of measurement unit (e.g. °C or °F) are carried out directly on the oscilloscope display. Calibration and power supply of the connected sensors are handled by the oscilloscope, making operation more convenient.

Technology Explained Simply

The Probix system ensures fast and secure operation. As soon as the adapter is connected, the oscilloscope recognises the type and properties of the accessory and automatically configures itself. This reduces the risk of errors associated with manual settings. Safety information is also displayed directly on the oscilloscope screen as soon as the accessory is connected. The maximum voltage is 30 V CAT I, suitable for low-voltage measurements and ensuring safety during use.

Compatibility and Accessories

The adapter is specifically designed for SCOPIX oscilloscopes of the OX 9000 and OX 7000 series. It is part of the Probix system, which enables seamless integration of accessories. Compatible accessories, such as opening terminals for AmpFLEX (black, 10 pcs), can be used additionally to expand connection options.

Mounting and Installation

Installation is performed by direct connection to the Probix connector of the oscilloscope. No additional tools or settings are required. The Plug-and-Play principle ensures that the adapter is immediately recognised and configured upon connection. Power supply and calibration are handled by the oscilloscope, so no external power source is needed.

Advantages in Operation

Automatic functions such as conversion, compensation, and unit control reduce operational complexity and minimise human error. Direct power supply via the oscilloscope reduces the number of required external devices. The wide temperature measurement range from -40 °C to 1250 °C enables a variety of applications. Integration into the Probix system ensures fast and secure commissioning.
