Default Re: Dual Thermocouples ???

Use a double pole double throw (DPDT) switch to select the TC. This could pose a problem though if the TCs are a little off in resistance between them. The PID can be calibrated for a particular TC but switching between two could throw the PV temp off a little. Try it and see if it works. The worst case is that one may read a few degrees different.
