5 Channel Counter/Timer Acquisition Device
Measurement Computing Event Counting DAQ
The USB-4301 from Measurement Computing is a USB-based high-performance, low-cost counter/timer device. The USB-4301 is designed with a 9513 counter/timer chip. The 9513 chip has 5 independent 16-bit counters (65,536 counts). Each counter has an input source, internal count register, load register, hold register, output,
and gate.
The USB-4301module is software-programmable for event counting, pulse and frequency measurement, alarm comparisons, and other input functions. It can generate frequencies with either complex duty cycles, or with one-shot and continuous-output modes. You can chain up to five modules together using software to enable a 32-, 48-, 64-, or 80-bit counter that does not require hardware connections. The gate source and gating functions are
all software-programmable.
An 8-bit, high-current digital output port provides logic-level control, and can be used to switch solid state relays. An 8-bit digital input port can be used to sense contact closures and other TTL level signals.
Included with each Counter/Timer DAQ Device:
>> 2 meter long USB Cable
>> 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.
