The latest model breaks new ground for price and performance.
The new PMD-1608FS offers eight channels of high speed simultaneous sampling analogue input at a class leading price of less than GBP 300.
It's an outstanding capability for a neat device that's only around 3.25in square and 1in high - big enough to make connecting field wiring easy, small enough to fit on even the most crowded workbench.
With a 16bit A/D convertor on each channel, the PMD-1608FS provides 50Ksample/s simultaneous sampling with 100Ksample/s overall throughput using USB2, and pretty exceptional performance even with USB 1.1.
It features full USB plug and play functionality, and does not need an external power supply.
Like all PMD modules, the PMD-1608FS includes a comprehensive software bundle, including an installation and test application and a handy strip recorder and data logger utility to get you started.
Drivers for standard Windows-based programming languages including NET, LabView drivers and a full set of SoftWire controls are also included to simplify writing applications.
Reliable and rugged enough for industrial applications, yet at a price that makes one-per-bench across the lab affordable, the PMD-1608FS is an ideal way to add measurement capability to any USB capable computer.
It's perfect for OEM use as well - an easy and affordable way of providing USB connectivity to the device you're building, with freely downloadable OEM software support in the form of a comprehensive set of C++ routines and their source code.
The PMD-1608FS device is available to buy in the UK and Ireland from Adept Scientific. Request a free brochure from Adept Scientific ...
