Hi is it somehow possible to read out two 336 controllers at the same time using the Chart Recorder? If not what are my options:) I have a total of 6 temperature sensors I would like to read out.
Best regards, Leo Pape

Chart recorder can only connect to one controller, however, you can run multiple chart recorder applications in separate windows at the same time. Start the application and connect to the first Model 336, then start another window with the application connected to the second Model 336.

Hi Leo,
If you don't mind me asking, are you using two 336s because you have two separate systems, or are you using two to get more heater power into a single system? Thanks.

Hi I'm just using two controllers to have 6 temperature sensors at the same time, in order to se how different parts of my experiment are cooling down. Longterm I will only use one controller.

OK, no problem. This probably isn't a solution for now (unless you REALLY want all your measurements in the same Chart Recorder window), but the 3062 option card for the 336 expands the number of input channels up to 8. Sorry, I'm realizing now that we don't do a very good job advertising this card on our website. Here are some product links:
With this card installed in the 336, Chart Recorder would recognize and display all 8 channels in a single window. These 4 additional channels use the measurement circuitry of the 4th input of the 336 and scan sequentially through any active channels. So you'll end up with 3 full-speed channels, and up to 5 channels with a shared update rate. With all 4 of the inputs on the 3062 option card active, you'd end up with an update rate of 2 per second per input (5 channels sharing a 10 per second update rate).

For anyone who finds this in the future, we've now improved the website. It does a slightly better job letting people know about these option cards.
