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.
The USB-3110, USB-3112 and USB-3114 have integrated high-drive voltage outputs, eliminating the need for external high-drive amplifiers.
The USB-3100 series' proprietary architecture virtually eliminates dead-band (unresponsive) codes.
In addition, the product line is factory calibrated to be out-of-the-box ready for system deployment.
Bill Kennedy, MCC Vice President of Sales and Marketing, remarked: "Customers have enjoyed our low-cost USB multifunction DAQ devices".
"We are excited to offer the USB-3100 series - a line of dedicated low-cost, high-drive analogue output devices in the same convenient packaging".
"Not only were we able to fulfill our customers requirements for a low-cost analogue output device, we were able to engineer additional features to save our valued customers further time and money".
"The USB-3100 series should be strongly considered for anyone performing PC control".
All products in the USB-3100 line are fully compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports, and are supported under Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP operating systems.
Each of the voltage outputs is capable of sinking/sourcing up to 40mA (maximum) of load current.
A bidirectional synchronisation pin allows users to update the DAC outputs simultaneously on multiple devices.
The USB-3110 provides four channels of analogue voltage output, eight digital I/O connections, and one 32bit event counter.
The USB-3112 has eight analogue voltage outputs, and the USB-3114 has 16.
All other features are the same.
At 127 x 86 x 36mm, the USB-3100 series modules are just large enough to make connecting field wiring easy, yet small enough to fit on even the most crowded bench.
These products ship with a USB cable, a 5V/2A AC power adapter, and the following software.
InstaCal is an all-in-one installation, calibration and test application that makes setting up and testing the USB-3100 series devices as simple as a few mouse clicks.
