Thermograph is a meteorological weather instrument that is used for recording temperature. Digital recording thermometers used for measuring temperature in the marine environments are known as Thermograph. Thermographs are usually attached to the computer set ups. The recorded parameters for operation and download are displayed in both graphic and numeric format on a Thermograph.
The Thermographs are used for monitoring junction temperature of the G3 or G4 processor. It records the minimum and maximum temperatures and simultaneously a small temperature graph displays the past temperature records. In multi-processor models Thermographs can also display processor temperatures individually.
Currently there are two types of Thermographs being widely used:
- The Ryan TempmentorThis Thermograph can store a maximum of 6,361 temperature measurements in the range of -32°C to +70°C and the resolution and accuracy is 0.1° and 0.3° respectively. The Ryan Tempmentor unit weighs 11 ounces and the overall dimensions are 3in by 6in by 1.3in. It can take temperature measurement once in every second or once every hour. The Ryan Tempmentor battery lasts for nearly two years.
- The Hobo TempIt is a miniature reusable Thermograph that can store a maximum of 1,800 temperature measurements in the range of -20°C to +70°C and the resolution and accuracy is 0.3° and 0.7° respectively. The Hobo Temp can be programmed to take measurements in an interval of 0.5 seconds to 4.8 hours. The overall dimension of the instrument is 2.4in by 1.9in by 0.8in. The Hobo Temp unit weighs 1 ounce. The battery longevity of The Hobo Temp is one year.
Under water housings are the places where these units are normally placed. They are attached to the lower portions or suspended in the water column for consumption.
