Measurement Computing Corp has released its new Measurement Advantage USB-based electromechanical relay modules.

The USB-ERB24 offers 24 channels of Form C relay with 6A output ratings.

The USB-ERB08 offers identical performance in a eight-channel configuration.

Measurement Advantage brand USB-ERB series interfaces are the perfect alternative to a PCI board based system.

The advantage of simple installation, built-in signal conditioning, and screw terminals all in a rugged and robust enclosure makes the Measurement Advantage an all-in-one solution.

At $299, the USB-ERB24 offers all this at a price that is 18% less expensive than the company's lowest priced PCI based alternative.

The USB-ERB08 also offers the Measurement Advantage at roughly the same price as the comparable eight-channel PCI-based system.

The Measurement Advantage products are robust and rugged, offer high I/O counts, are easily expandable, and are extremely easy to use.

The USB-ERB series enclosure makes it ideal for laboratory, automated test, and industrial monitoring/control applications.

The all-aluminium chassis rests comfortably on any benchtop or may be easily mounted on any standard DIN rail.

All wiring is brought out to full-sized screw terminals that are easy to wire to, and yet are protected by the units latching connection cover.

Each USB-ERB series module provides an exclusive, built-in USB hub.

This allows easy expansion of Measurement Advantage brand systems as additional interfaces are added, without requiring an external USB expansion hub.

The USB-ERB products also implement a daisychain power supply interconnection that greatly simplifies wiring in larger systems.

Measurement Advantage software is provided in a variety of forms, one of which will be ideal for any application.

All units also include TracerDAQ, Measurement Computing's powerful stripchart recorder, and data logger software application.

Also included is SoftWire, the popular graphical programming interface for Visual Studio.Net.

All Measurement Advantage units also include Measurement Computing's powerful Universal Library.

The Universal Library is a powerful language interface, allowing users to write programs in all of the popular programming languages using easy-to-understand, high-level command syntax.

The USB-series also includes drivers for most popular data acquisition application packages including LabView.
