Adept Scientific announces the release of the new Satellite series PCI expansion chassis from Measurement Computing Corporation, the new name of ComputerBoards.
"We're very proud of this revolutionary product", said Measurement Computing CEO Ben Bailey.
"Our engineering team has done an outstanding job creating a product that offers this combination of measurement accuracy, high performance and small size".
"Perhaps most remarkable of all is that the PMD-1608FS offers input accuracy and noise performance equal to that offered by 16bit DAQ board products from other vendors, all at one-seventh the price of comparable PCI-based data acquisition devices".
With a 16bit A/D convertor on each channel, the PMD-1608FS provides 50Ksample/s simultaneous sampling with 100Ksample/s overall throughput using USB v1.1 or v2.
It is fully USB plug and play compliant, and needs no external power supply.
Like all PMD modules, the PMD-1608FS includes a comprehensive software bundle that meets the needs of both programmers and nonprogrammers, including an installation and test application and a handy strip recorder and data logger utility to get users started.
Drivers for standard Windows-based programming languages including Net, LabView and DasyLab drivers and a full set of SoftWire controls are also available, so it's easy for users to write their own 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 any end product, with freely downloadable OEM software support in the form of a comprehensive set of C++ routines and their source code.
