See and log up to
eight iNet-650 units
in one window
SensorVue-Pro is SensorVue for larger systems. Connect up to eight units, by USB or over the network, and watch every thermocouple on one channel table, charts and digital meters. Log all units side by side in one file, or one file per unit, and stream the readings live into Excel or DASYLab.
SensorVue or SensorVue-Pro
Both editions share the same screens, logging and live data links. SensorVue reads one unit per window. SensorVue-Pro reads up to eight at once, keeps them on one time base and logs them together.

| Channel setup: label, units, m/b scaling | Included | Included |
| Charts and digital meters | Included | Included |
| CSV logging | Included | Included |
| Live data to Excel and DASYLab | Included | Included |
| Automatic reconnect and recovery | Included | Included, per unit |
| Setup files | Included | Included, opens SensorVue files |
| All units in one combined log, on one time base | — | Pro |
| One log file per unit, alongside or instead | — | Pro |
| Your own value for missing data (e.g. −9999) | — | Pro |
| Status of every unit at a glance | — | Pro |
Watching one iNet-650? Standard SensorVue covers it. Choose Pro when several units should be watched and logged together.
Everything on one screen,
no programming
SensorVue-Pro shows every active channel of every unit in one table: unit, label, units, scaling and the live reading. A filter shows one unit at a time when the list gets long. Charts and digital meters open beside it.
- Units tab with U1 to U8: tick a unit to use it and pick how it connects
- Channel setup with labels, engineering units and linear scaling (m and b) per channel
- Charts with a selectable time window, up to eight stacked charts and autoscale
- Digital meters in a grid, grouped by unit, with adjustable columns and decimal places
- Logging to CSV with one click, from the channels you choose
- Live data into an open Excel workbook, a DASYLab worksheet or DASYLab global variables
- Setup files that save units, channels, logging and window layout, and open again on any PC
- Unit status at a glance: ready, booting, lost or off, with heartbeat, CJC temperature and reference voltage

Many units,
one time base
Each unit is read on its own, so a unit that is unplugged, powered down or rebooting never holds up the others. It turns red, waits for the same unit to return, restarts it and carries on.
Mix connections freely
Every unit picks its own connection. Plug iNet-650s straight into the PC by USB and pick each one by serial number. Read a unit on another machine over Modbus TCP. Or add a simulated unit to try a setup, a chart or a log before the hardware arrives.
One poll interval for all
All units are read on the same interval. On every interval SensorVue-Pro puts the newest reading of each unit into one row, so the combined log, Excel and DASYLab see all units side by side. A unit with no new reading gets your missing-data value instead of a stale number.
Logging built for
long, unattended runs
Test stands and surveys run for hours or days. SensorVue-Pro keeps the record complete and easy to read back, even when a unit or a spreadsheet drops out along the way.
- Combined file with every unit side by side, columns named like “U1 CH03 (°C)”
- One file per unit, named with the unit and its serial number, alongside or instead
- Missing-data value of your choice, written wherever a reading is not available
- Date and time in the file name so every run gets its own file
- Live link reconnect: if Excel or DASYLab is busy or closed, SensorVue-Pro retries on its own and can send the rows it missed
- CJC, reference and ID columns per unit when you want the full instrument record
Live data
- Excel
- A new row per interval, or one live row that updates in place
- DASYLab
- One line per interval into a DDE Input module
- DASYLab variables
- Each channel to a global variable
- Number format
- Decimal point or decimal comma
- Reconnect
- Retry interval of your choice
- Missed rows
- Sent on reconnect, or skipped for live use
Excel and DASYLab must run on the same PC as SensorVue-Pro.
Example: 32-point oven survey
A temperature uniformity survey needs many thermocouples logged on the same clock. Four iNet-650s on one PC give 32 type J points, and SensorVue-Pro records them as one table while showing every point live.
| Unit | Connection | Measures | Goes to |
|---|---|---|---|
| U1 | iNet-650 on USB | 8 points, top shelf | Combined log, chart |
| U2 | iNet-650 on USB | 8 points, middle shelf | Combined log, chart |
| U3 | iNet-650 on USB | 8 points, bottom shelf | Combined log, chart |
| U4 | iNet-650 on USB | Air, door and load points | Combined log, digital meters |
| All units | — | One row per interval | Excel live sheet for the report |
Point locations, intervals and file layout are set up for each job. We can supply the setup file ready to run.
Where it is used

From sensors to log
- Connect thermocouples to each iNet-650 and plug the units into the PC.
- Add units on the Units tab and pick each one by serial number.
- Set up channels: label, units and scaling.
- Choose logging: combined file, per-unit files, Excel or DASYLab.
- Save the setup and start logging.
