The DT9817-R is a digital I/O relay output module for USB 2.0 data acquisition, offering high drive levels and high-current digital I/O capability.

The DT9817-R is a digital I/O relay output module for USB 2.0 data acquisition, offering high drive levels and high-current digital I/O capability "The DT9817-R, the latest addition to the award winning Econseries was designed for users seeking a portable yet robust solution for driving solid state or mechanical relays", states Fred Molinari, President and CEO

"Users in the harshest of environments can now take advantage of the ease of use of USB and still be assured of the highest reliability".

The DT9817-R provides up to 500V channel to channel isolation on eight digital input lines with an input voltage range of +/-3 to +/-32V and eight digital output lines capable of switching up to 30V at 400mA.

The DT9817-R input lines can be used in applications for proximity and limit switches, photoelectric switches, and TTL and pushbutton devices.

The outputs can be used for switching AC and DC loads such as relays, electric motor controls, solenoids, and indicator lamps.

The 32bit counter timer can be run by an internal or external clock.

This subsystem supports four separate operating modes: event counting; frequency measurement; edge-to-edge measurement; and rate generation.

The DT9817-R ships with the GO! application, providing easy to use measurement solutions right out of the box.

Extensive software tools including DTx-EZ for Visual Basic.NET and C#, an evaluation copy of DT Measure Foundry software, Data Translation's easy to use test and measurement application builder are included.

Free software downloads including interface tools to LabView and Matlab are available from the Data Translation website.

The DT9817-R is available immediately.
