Introduction  
The latest version of the TC-08 software can be downloaded free of charge from our  
web site at:  
Thank you for purchasing a TC-08 data acquisition module.  
This guide explains how to install the software and product manual using the  
supplied CD-ROM.  
If you require a new CD, please contact OMEGA Engineering.  
The product manual contains detailed information about using the product and its  
software. It includes all the information you will need to connect and set up your  
product. The product manual is installed in electronic format, but if you would prefer  
a paper copy, you can print the PDF files on the CD-ROM.  
5
Writing your own software  
The CD ROM contains all the manuals and drivers which allow you to develop your  
own custom programs easily. Follow section 1.3 to install.

General safety warning  
We strongly recommend that you read the general safety information below and  
also the product-specific safety warning in the product manual before using your  
product for the first time. If you do not use the equipment in the manner specified,  
then you may impair the protection provided. This could result in damage to your  
computer or injury to yourself or others.  
6
Input connections  
The installed product manuals contain complete descriptions of input connections.  
Follow section 1.3 to install.  
The product manual is installed on your computer when you install the supplied  
software.

Technical support  
Maximum input range  
The OMEGA Engineering web site at:  
You can find the maximum input range and, where applicable, overload protection  
range in the product manual installed on your computer. Always operate the  
product within the specified input range. Operation outside the range of the  
overload protection is likely to cause permanent damage to the unit.  
also contains regularly updated technical support information. Both the product  
manual and the web site contain phone/fax and e-mail contact information for our  
technical support team.  
Mains voltages  
TC-08 data acquisition modules are not designed for use with mains voltages. To  
measure mains we recommend the use of a differential probe that is specifically  
designed for such measurements.

Safety grounding

Installing the software and manual  
Note: Please follow the software installation instructions below BEFORE connecting  
The ground of every product is connected directly to the ground of your computer  
through the interconnecting cable supplied. This is done in order to minimize  
interference. Therefore, always use the supplied cable to attach the product to your  
computer.  
the hardware product.  
3.1 Installing under Windows XP SP2 or Vista  
As with most oscilloscopes and data acquisition modules, take care to avoid  
connecting the ground input of the product to anything which may be at some  
voltage other than ground. If in doubt, use a voltmeter to check that there is no  
significant AC or DC voltage between the oscilloscope ground and the point to  
which you intent to connect it. Failure to check may cause damage to the product  
or computer and could cause injury to yourself or others.  
1) Insert the TC-08 software CD into your CD-ROM drive.  
2) If Autorun is enabled, the CD will start up automatically.  
If so, go to step 6.  
3) Press the Start button and select Run...  
4) Type d:\TC-08 (where “d:” is your CD-ROM drive).  
5) Press the Enter key.  
6) Click the Install Application Software button.  
7) The program will guide you through the installation.  
With temperature converters, take great care when measuring temperatures near  
mains equipment. If a sensor is accidentally connected to mains voltages, you risk  
damage to the converter or your computer and your computer chassis may become  
live.  
3.2 Installing USB products  
You should assume that the product does not have a protective safety earth.  
Incorrect configuration or use on voltages outside the maximum input range can be  
hazardous.  
USB products are supported only by Windows XP SP2 or Vista.  
Install the software before connecting the product to the USB port for the first time  
(see section 3.1)  
Repairs  
Once you have completed the software installation instructions in section 3.1, do  
the following:  
The unit contains no user-servicable parts. Repair or calibration of the unit  
requires specialized test equipment and must be performed by OMEGA  
Engineering.  
1) Connect the USB cable between the product and one of the USB ports on your  
computer.  
2) Allow the computer to automatically detect and configure your hardware  
product*.  
For instructions on how to configure the TC-08 software, see the electronic  
manual.  
* If Windows displays a warning message about Windows Logo testing you must  
click “Continue Anyway” to complete the installation and start using the hardware  
product.
