Current transducers maintain accuracy
A new series of DC current transducers provides tighter accuracy to 1.0% full-scale for more stable operation over a wide temperature range from -40 to +85C.
Fiberbyte has combined USB-inSync technology with real-time I/O enabling unprecedented flexibility and expansion in demanding distributed test environments.
The result is the DAQ-2500X which features four 16bit-resolution 100Ksample/s simultaneous sampling analogue input channels (multiplexed to 16 inputs), multichannel 1Mbyte/s data throughput, programmable digital I/O and advanced triggering functions.
The DAQ-2500X's four discrete ADCs deliver true synchronous acquisition at 100Ksample/s per channel with an impressive 400Ksample/s continuous data throughput.
The 1Mbyte FIFO enables onboard buffering of well over a second's worth of data with all four ADCs sampling at 100Ksample/s.
Fully programmable digital I/O and triggers make the DAQ-2500X perfect for numerous data logging applications.
For complete mobility the DAQ-2500X will even operate from battery power.
The DAQ-2500X is a data acquisition system that expands as the application demands.
The synchronised nature of USB-inSync means that users no longer need to retire their old data acquisition devices and buy new, more expensive ones with more channels.
For the first time ever, adding additional synchronised data acquisition channels is as simple as plugging another DAQ-2500X into the USB port.
Engineers can build the expandable synchronous system they want, and their managers can control costs.
The multifunction DAQ-2500X will quickly become the solution of choice for PC I/O applications where performance, portability, cost, or most significantly, scalability are significant considerations.
Using the DAQ-2500X has been made simple with Fiberbyte's extensive software suite.
The DAQ Control Center will provide complete PC control and data logging to multiple devices for users with no programming experience.
Experienced users can access the full functionality of the DAQ-2500X through Fiberbyte's COM Server interface which provides support for most modern programming languages and software applications.
LabView drivers are also provided for interfacing into existing test applications.
DAQ-2500X is 100% compatible with other USB devices, but only USB-inSync enabled devices will have multidevice synchronous and deterministic features.
Fiberbyte is able to integrate any I/O device with its technology, creating innumerable application possibilities for OEMs.
The target market for Fiberbyte's initial range of products is the USB-based segment of the data acquisition market, currently worth approximately US $100 million per annum.
Beyond this, Fiberbyte's technology may in the future have application to additional segments of the broader worldwide data acquisition market, currently worth approximately US $2.8 billion per annum.
