One probe to send data to a PID and data logger?

Hello
Anyone know if it is possible to use 1 probe connected to a PID and hook it in parallel to a data collector for ET? I would like to limit the amount of probes connected to the roaster.
I am using an Auber PID SYL-2352 and a Phidgets to collect data.
Thank you

Yes it's "possible." Which is to say that "possible" is not the same thing as "guaranteed." It usually works, but not always because sometimes the signal gets too attenuated for controller, datalogger or both. The controller's terminals are a good place to tie in because you don't need to bother splicing. But of course, you can pigtail a splice in anywhere you like.

Thank you that is good to know.
I was concern about damaging sensitive equipment, I will give it a try.

A dual sensing thermocouple sounds like a good idea. I know that they make thermocouple splitters where you can send the signal from one thermocouple to multiple sensors and have isolation, but the examples that I saw were pretty expensive.

Probably the "right" way to go, but plain ol' fashioned piggy-backing usually works OK.

Can I get an "Amen?"
People who sell stuff and know what they're doing; people who don't want you and/or me to blow out stuff they've got under warranty, and also know what they're doing; and people who are worried about you and/or me arc-welding ourselves to the nearest piece of metal, and know what they're doing probably recommend against it. But I'm humming "Java Jive," got my fingers in my ears, and can't hear them.
