High-precision data logger
The PT-104 is a four-channel temperature measurement data logger. It offers maximum resolution (0.001 °C) and accuracy (0.015 °C). Besides temperature, it can also be used for resistance measurement. In PT100, PT1000 and resistance modes, the unit can use a two-, three- or four-wire circuit. The four-wire measurement offers the highest accuracy. PicoLog 6 software, the unit can be used with any laptop or PC running Windows, macOS or Linux. Power is supplied and the connection to a PC or laptop is made via a USB 1.1, USB 2.0 or 3.0 connection. With our PicoLog data software, you can record, monitor and analyse the collected data and even export it to third-party applications such as Microsoft Excel. The PicoLog software is free to download from www.picotech.com/downloads and can be used with any laptop or PC running Windows, macOS or Linux.

The PT-104 measures temperature using platinum resistance thermometers (PRTs). Both common industry standards (PT100 and PT1000) are supported. The unit is compatible with two, three and four-wire sensors (four-wire PT100 sensors are recommended for accurate measurements). A wide range of PT100 sensors are available for use with your PT-104.
All Pico data acquisition products come complete with PicoLog 6. This powerful yet flexible data acquisition software allows you to collect, manipulate, analyze, display and export data.
Designed from the ground up to be intuitive from the outset, PicoLog 6 allows you to set up the logger and start recording with just a few clicks of the mouse, whatever your level of data logging experience.
From here, starting a capture is simple: plug in the logger, add a channel, press Record, and you’re logging! PicoLog 6 also includes a number of additional features to cater for more advanced data logging needs.
The PT-104 is capable of measuring up to 4 channels at once. Need more channels? No problem. Using PicoLog you can connect up to 20 PT-104s to one PC – giving you a potential 80-channel PT100 data logger. Alternatively, you can use your PT-104 logger with up to 19 other Pico data loggers, such as the PicoLog 1000 multichannel data logger, to create your own custom data acquisition system.
