That one is a type-K thermocouple, and my multimeter has a built in type-K thermocouple, so theres no calibration involved. Thermocouples generate voltage, not current. I'm working on a circuit that uses a MAX6675 and a microcontroller to interface it to USB now (all parts where free samples )...

I'm just wondering whether the probe is long enough to give an accurate EGT and not a exhaust manifold temp...
