Easy to use and integrate into .NET
I have two of these in the lab and use them all the time to monitor test chamber temperatures. Easy to integrate the measurements into .NET code through the use of the virtual serial port

Misleading description regarding software
The webpage indicates that this includes software and a manual. The "quick start" sheet (see picture) that comes with it says there's a manual and a software disk. Customer service indicated the software is a download (yeah, I know), but they would check and get back to me. Never heard from them again. Not all of our lab computers have internet access. Yes, I know how to transfer the files, but the promised disk that I thought I was paying for would have been appreciated. I did get a one sheet "quick-start" instruction, but definitely nothing I would call a "manual".
Web page and included minimal documentation should be corrected to not indicated "included" software and manual.

Easy to use solution
Great product for monitoring temperature of an environmental chamber on a computer. Gives us the flexibility to perform testing remotely instead of having to check the measurements on-site. The accompanied software is intuitive, easy to use, and allows easy export of data.

Useful Device
This is a very useful basic thermocouple datalogger that is extremely portable. Does exactly what it says. Good for quick setups and spontaneous measurements.

Worked as advertised, bought another one.
Bought this to monitor device temperature on a PCB that we had to heat and maintain at 125C. Worked perfectly. Logged temp at ~1 Hz.

Works great
Bought this to read temperature in a USB-based automation system. Works just like I expected!

When I plug a thermocouple into UTC-USB it does automatically begin showing temperature (seemingly correctly), but on the channels tab it shows it as a "K" type thermocouple when it is definitely a "J" type. How do I change that?
Thank you for your question. You can download command protocol from our website. Please see link:

Would you inform me the protocol to request read temperature for serial communication of this model. Thank you.
Thank you for your question. Please see the command reference for this product in the following link:

What is the lowest possible "sample time" (i.e. highest sampling frequency) possible with the thermocouple version of this device? The manual indicates 100 Hz "bandwidth," but specifically for the pressure transducer version...
Thank you for your question. The software that monitors UTC-USB has shortest logging interval of 1 sec.

How can I add the line for ground for this equipment connection? Would you provide the diagram?
There is no provision for a ground on UTC-USB as it is not required.

Will you please email me the document mentioned above (4 years ago)? "command protocol for UTC-USB": ftp://ftp.omega.com/public/DASGroup/products/UTC-USB/UTC_USB-Command_Reference.pdf I was unable to reach it with my Opera browser.
Hello, thank you for your question. We will gladly send you a PDF, please send your request to das@dwyeromega.com for assistance.

Do you have a product like this Universal USB thermocouple connector that uses wireless USB to connect to a PC instead of wired?
Hello, thank you for your question. You can take a look at our UWTC-2 wireless transmitters with the UWTC-REC1 receiver for your consideration.

Dear Omega, Do you have library of pythone communicator for this model UTC-USB? I need to imbed your temperature module to my software, please let me know.
Thank you for your question Louis. We can only provide the communication protocol you can download from ftp site:
