Module brings GPIB control via USB
A new USB-GPIB controller module converts any PC with a USB interface into a full-function, IEEE488.2 bus controller.
Both units log data to industry standard CompactFlash (CF) cards.
These new modules are ideal for remote or stand-alone applications requiring temperature measurement where the use of a dedicated PC or laptop is not feasible.
Both of the devices provide user configurable temperature alarms for control of eight digital output lines.
A 64-MB CF card can store approximately 2,350,000 time-stamped temperature values from a single channel.
CompactFlash cards up to 2GB in size are supported.
Data can be retrieved either by connecting the device to a computer via a standard USB cable, or by placing the removable CF card into any standard CF card reader.
The devices are bundled with TracerDAQ, an industry-leading software package that provides easy data management and analysis.
TracerDAQ converts and saves temperature and alarm data to standard, comma-delimited CSV or text files.
TracerDAQ also plots and analyses real-time data or historical temperature files.
According to Marc Marini, Measurement Computing's General Manager: "Customers purchasing our USB-TEMP and USB-TC devices tell us that they love the performance of the product, but in some situations could not dedicate a computer to the measurement".
"These devices provide the perfect solution - they offer the same live temperature monitoring capabilities as the USB-TEMP and TC products, but can record the data to a removable CF card".
These products ship with a 64-MB CF card, a power supply, a USB cable, and the following software: InstaCal, an all-in-one installation, logger set-up, calibration, and test application.
InstaCal makes setting up and retrieving data from the logger as simple as a few quick mouse clicks.
