USB-based 8 Channel 16-Bit DAQ Device
Measurement Computing USB-based 8 Channel 16 Bit 200kHz Data Acquisition Device
The USB-1608HS-2AO from Measurement Computing is a high speed USB 2.0 device that offers true simultaneous sampling of up to eight channels of 16-bit single-ended or differential analog input at 250 kHz per channel. Each channel has one A/D converter and can be independently-configured with software for either single-ended or differential input. The input range of each channel can also be configured independently with software.
A 32-bit counter is capable of counting TTL pulses. A synchronization input line (SYNC_IN) allows you to provide an external sampling clock for the analog inputs. A synchronization output line (SYNC_OUT) lets you output the internal or external sampling clock of the USB-1608-HS-2AO analog inputs. An analog trigger lets you start analog input conversions based on the value of a digital or analog signal.
The USB-1608-HS-2AO offers all the same features as the 1608-HS, but adds Two 16-bit, 1 MS/s analog outputs.
USB 8 Channel DAQ includes:
>> 2 Meter Long USB Cable
>> AC Wall Power Adapter (5V, Part # PS-5V2AEPS)
>> Measurement Computing’s DAQ software suite that includes TracerDAQ, The Universal Library, Comprehensive drivers for DASYLab and NI LabVIEW as well as InstaCal software utility for installation, calibration, and testing.
