The USB-1408FS is a 14bit analogue input USB device that fills the gap between the popular 12 and 16bit models in the Measurement Computing USB range.

Available now from Adept Scientific, the USB-1408FS is a 14bit analogue input USB device that fills the gap between the popular 12 and 16bit models in the Measurement Computing USB range The USB-1408FS rounds out the product line, and provides the cost-sensitive customer with an attractive choice

"So many of our customers have been asking us for a product to fill the gap between our USB-1208FS and our USB-1608FS", remarked Bill Kennedy, MCC Vice President of Sales and Marketing, "that we had to build one".

"The USB-1408FS features 14bit of resolution, factory calibration and ten times the accuracy of the USB-1208FS".

"While we continue to exceed our customers' price expectations, the engineers of our USB-1408FS have also provided additional features that will enhance our customers' overall measurement experience".

The USB-1408FS provides eight single-ended or four differential analogue inputs, 14bit resolution in differential mode, 13bit resolution in single-ended mode, eight software selectable input ranges, with sample rates up to 48Ksample/s.

In addition to the analogue inputs, the unit provides two channels of 12bit analogue output, a 32bit counter and 16bit of digital I/O.

It is fully compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0, and is supported by the Windows 2000 and XP operating systems.

At 82.6 x 79.4 x 25.4mm, the USB-1408FS is just large enough to make connecting field wiring easy, yet small enough to fit on even the most crowded bench.

Magnetic and Velcro mounting options along with a 5.7mm attachment hole make mounting easy, even in unconventional installations.

The attachment hole can also be used with a cable lock or padlock in applications where unit security is required.

The USB-1408FS is bundled with a USB cable and the following software: InstaCal, an all-in-one installation, setup, calibration, and test application; TracerDAQ, Measurement Computing's powerful stripchart recorder, oscilloscope and data logging application; and Universal Library and UL for LabView, powerful language interfaces that allow users to write programs in all the popular programming languages using easy-to-understand, high-level command syntax.
