It also samples up to four channels simultaneously, opening up some completely new possibilities for those wanting to use USB.
The compact USBDAQ-9100-MS has eight differential analogue input channels in total with eight programmable ranges, four of which can be simultaneously sampled.
In addition, two 12bit analogue output channels, 16 isolated digital I/O and two timer/counter channels are available.
The analogue output section also features an arbitrary waveform generator.
Other specifications of interest in this versatile unit include 1500V DC isolation on the digital I/O channels.
The USB is built into all new PCs.
The USBDAQ-9100-MS allows direct connection of transducers for displacement, pressure and flow, and measurement of voltage, frequency, pulse counts, duty cycle and digital I/O via USB, making it easy to acquire, display and monitor measurement data in industrial, manufacturing and research applications.
Calibration is digital, so no potentiometers or adjustments are needed to get the system up and running - it really is a plug-in-and-go solution.
Compatible Windows-based software such as Dasylab is also available from Adept Scientific. Request a free brochure from Adept Scientific ...
