"The unique feature of the U2300A Series is its ability to work either as a stand-alone or modular instrument with the U2700A Series USB modular instrument chassis".
"This is an exciting next step in the broadening of Agilent's value-based product offering", said Gooi Soon Chai, Vice President and General Manager of Agilent's Electronic Instruments Business Unit.
"Now, we are expanding our portfolio by introducing a modular-based high-speed, high-volume USB DAQ solution".
Agilent's U2300A Series USB modular multifunction data acquisition device is an ideal tool for design validation and manufacturing engineers who conduct data logging, measurement or monitoring in a broad range of industries.
It has an easy plug-and-play PC interface for high-speed data acquisition applications.
The U2300A Series consists of seven modules with Hi-Speed USB 2.0, up to 64 analogue input channels (384 channels when used with the U2700A Series chassis), and up to 3Msample/s sampling rate for a single channel.
The easy-to-use Agilent Modular Instruments Measurement Manager software is included at no charge.
Giving users the flexibility to use other widely used application software, the U2300A Series is compatible with a wide range of application development environments such as Agilent VEE, NI LabView and Microsoft Visual Studio.
The Agilent U2700A Series USB modular instrument chassis is a six-slot USB modular chassis.
Like the U2300A Series device, it offers an easy plug-and-play setup and configuration with its Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface.
Having the ability to connect up to six modules of U2300A Series DAQ devices, it allows an expansion up to 384 channels for various tests and measurements in today's high-performance applications.
Compact and portable, Agilent's U2700A Series is also mountable to a rack-mount kit and provides star trigger bus synchronisation for the modules.
Prices for the Agilent U2300A Series start at US $999.
The Agilent U2700A Series pricing starts at $1150.
