14bit I/O for the usual price of 12bit
Adept Scientific has the new PCI-DAS64/M1/14 analogue and digital I/O board from Measurement Computing.
All that's needed is to connect graphical icons representing the hardware, the signal processing and the chosen display, which can be anything from a choice of scope, strip chart, x-y, digital meters, analogue meters, bargraphs, and more.
DasyLab enables systems to be created so easily that they can become extremely sophisticated, and the many improvements in version 7.0 include a number designed to help developing and editing these systems.
For example, modules on the DasyLab 7.0 'worksheet' can now be replaced with others of the same type with all the connections picking up from the previous module.
If blocks of modules are moved to another part of the worksheet, all the connections go with them.
New modules include a generic TCP/IP input and output type, enabling data from a sensor connected over the web to be incorporated as easily as a local one.
Using the web opens up completely new possibilities for data acquisition, including 'always-on' connections and the savings in phone costs in remote diagnostics and maintenance.
Other I/O modules include multispeed analogue inputs and a Modbus module.
Among the signal-analysis tools in DasyLab 7.0 are new modules for harmonic distortion and electric characteristics, and improvements to existing modules include serial input format string debugging, making setting up serial and Ethernet devices much easier.
"This is an excellent new release of a long-established product", said Nigel Trevarthen of Adept Scientific's Data Acquisition Team, "and one which is already being received well by our many users".
DasyLab 7.0 is supplied and supported in the UK and Ireland by Adept Scientific. Request a free brochure from Adept Scientific ...
