Cylinder Head Temperature using a LJTick-InAmp. The LJTick-InAmp is a signal-conditioning module which provides two instrumentation amplifiers ideal for low-level signals such as thermocouples. Each amplifier converts a differential input to single-ended. The LJTIA has switches to choose from 5 gain settings (x1, x11, x51, x201, or custom) and two output voltage offsets. The 4-pin design plugs into the standard AIN/AIN/GND/VS screw terminal block found on newer LabJacks such as the U3 and UE9.

Trying the above with a Type-J CHT sparkplug thermocouple which outputs 9.81 mv @ 400f.

Vespa Labs is only a wiki and intended as a dumping ground for information and not as a properly reviewed source. The same disclaimers that wikipedia.org use apply to Vespa Labs. The short version is use information at your own risk, both information on the main wiki and in the user areas are intended to be used only as "thought provoking" for someone that knows what they are doing. If you try to implement a "thought" Vespa Labs is not reponsible and if something goes wrong we hope that you live and update the offending information with corrections to warn others.
