Plug-and-play data acquisition for USB PCs
Data Translation today announced the DT9800-EC Series, a family of multifunctional data acquisition modules that brings true plug-and-play data acquisition to PCs with Universal Serial Bus ports
The company said that standard USB modules simply link the OV input to PC Ground over the USB cable, which can easily result in voltage spikes corrupting measurements or damaging the board.
The DT9800 range spans 100kHz 12-bit resolution inputs to 50kHz 16-bit resolution inputs with or without two multiplying 12/16-bit DACs, counter/timers and digital I/O.
Bare-board versions are available for OEMs to integrate within their systems.
Also included are the DT9805 and DT9806 versions for temperature measurement using on-board cold-junction compensation.
