USB thermometer is a small module with
good electrical properties. Thermometer is connected with the PC via
USB
cable and is also powered via this cable. Temperature values
are displayed
on the monitor of a PC. It has 2 inputs, so you can measure 2
temperature at the same time.
It has an operating temperature range of -55 C to +125 C and is
accurate to 0.5 C over the range of -10 C to +85 C.

This thermometer is
galvanically connected with a PC. It is possible to simultaneously
connect up to 127 USB thermometers. Temperature sensor DS18S20 is
connected to the module with cable and the cable length may be several
meters. This sensor does not need any adjustment.
Software + API
Software.
Software in the PC communicates with the USB device and display data on
the monitor.
Once installed it is already capable to work immediately.There is no
need for settings.
Software can communicate with multiple USB device at the same time. It
also allows logs measured data into log file.
COM component.
For developers is supplied COM component, that enables to create own
applications.
COM
component works with all popular languages like visual basic, C/C++,
C#, javascript etc. More info are in help and in the software page.

USB Thermometer block diagram
1. Temperature sensor.
As a temperature sensor is used DS18S20. This is a temperature
sensor with digital output. It has an operating temperature range of
-55 C to +125 C. The DS18S20 communicates over a 1-Wire bus with
microcontroller.
2. microcontroller as thermometer.
Microcontroller PIC16F886 communicates with DS18S20 and read from it
the measured value. Measurement is approximately 3
times/sec . Microcontroller sends the measured data to PC.
3. USB interface and PC communication.
Connection with PC is implemented by using USB converter with FT 232RL.
FT 232RL is a reliable converter from USART to the USB protocol. It uses
its own APIs and offers a lot of capacity for communication PC with a
USB device.

Another thermometers.
Another type is thermometer is wireless thermometer that is on
this page. It has the same accuracy as that, but sends data to the PC
wirelessly.Another type is a web thermometer. It allows to measure
temperature via the internet.
