4-20mA and RTD support

I am going to bump this one again, there are SO many things I could do with these devices, industrial style thermometers, flowmeters, loadcells, etc... even if it was an external device that was affordable and just converted the signals...

I could put these in numerous craft breweries that are using 3-wire RTD if there was support...

This is something that is in the works, but at an initial prototyping stage. I don't have a timeline at this point, but hopefully in the first half of 2013.

bumping this feature request, I would pay an extra $100 or so for a BCS-462pro with the feature of say...
4 RTD/4-20mA inputs (switchable)
4 RTD inputs
8 digital inputs

4 PID/4-20mA outputs (switchable)
4 PID outputs
10 digital outputs

Maybe a case that has a ribbon cable to bring all the connectors to one side and he back side has a DIN rail mount? ooooooh.... like that one, don't ya!

oh, and put 2 USB ports on it, one for logging data to a thumbdrive, the other for super easy wireless... or a touchscreen display....

Has there been any work toward this?

Yes, there has been some work towards this, but it's still too early to provide a timeframe. We recently found a hardware engineer who is taking a look at the existing schematics to see what needs to be done to move this project forward.

Thanks for the update, it's good to know development of new features is on going

I would buy this right away if you come out with 4-20 mA and RTD support. Countless possibilities easily implemented if these features are added.
