Innovate TC-4 Plus (4 Channel Thermocouple Amplifier)
The TC-4 PLUS is 4 channel type-K thermocouple amplifier device that can be used a stand-alone system or as part of a MTS (Modular Tuning System). The TC-4 PLUS includes a digital input/output, 4 full-programmable analog outputs, and is ideal for applications such as dynamometers, data acquisition systems, or standalone ECUs.

All Innovate products are completely modular, enabling you to build the perfect tuning system for your needs. The MTS is scalable, and all components share a common digital communications protocol. Here are a few examples of log chains that you might setup to tune in various situations:
Example #1: Log-Chain
This 28-channel example includes an LC-1 on every cylinder, a DL-32 for recording, two TC-4's for exhaust gas temperature (or CHT), an AuxBox (LMA-3) for intake and turbo temp, speedo & TPS, and lastly an XD-16 to monitor a channel in real-time, display warning conditions, and trigger log sessions.
Example #2: Log-Chain of 5 channels consisting of DL-32 alone
Notice the DL-32's input port does not need a terminator plug like some other MTS devices. It can auto-detect if something is plugged into its input port
Example #3: 7-channel Log-Chain example with 2 AFR channels
Notice that the LC-1's are connected BEFORE the first DL-32. LC-1's should always be connected before the first DL-32
Example #4: 17-channel Log-Chain example
The example chain consists of a LM-1/LMA-2, a LC-1, a LMA-3, a DL-32's and 2 XD-16's. In this case the chain has 17 channels (6 from LM-1, 1 from LC-1 and 5 each from the LMA-3 and DL-32).
Devices attached to the LM-1's 'Aux In' port count as being part of the LM-1's 6 channels. They don't count extra. XD-16's do not contribute any channels, so you can add as many as needed.
