Data Translation's DT9800 series provides 500 volt isolation to protect the USB from unwanted noise and ground spikes.
Without this isolation, the user risks program interruptions, system halts, and damage to the system.
For this reason, Data Translationûs products are optically and galvanically isolated from the USB.
