High-speed modules join USB acquisition
line
USB-based DAQ modules provide true simultaneous data capture of up to eight channels of 16bit single-ended or differential analogue input at 250kHz per channel.
Measurement Computing Corp has added two high-speed devices to its growing USB product line: the USB-1608HS and the USB-1608HS-2AO These new USB-based DAQ modules provide true simultaneous data capture of up to eight channels of 16bit single ended or differential analogue input at 250kHz per channel

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 include 16bit digital I/O and an extensive suite of software.
The USB-1608HS-2AO has an additional two channels of 16bit analogue output with a range of -10 to +10V.
At a list price of US $1199 for the USB-1608HS, and $1399 for the USB-1608HS-2AO, these new high-performance DAQ modules offer unprecedented value.
Both the USB-1608HS and 1608HS-2AO use a separate A/D convertor for each channel.
Each device is capable of acquiring data in either a software paced or continuous scan mode.
Differential inputs offer increased accuracy by reducing measurement errors caused by ground loops and noise as seen with single-ended measurements.
An analogue trigger function lets users start and control analogue input acquisitions based on the value of a digital or analogue signal.
A synchronisation input line allows users to provide an external sampling clock for the analogue inputs.
A synchronisation output line allows the internal or external sampling clock of the analogue inputs to synchronise other devices in the system.
The two independent 16bit analogue output channels on the USB-1608HS-2AO can be configured with a remote sensing option to compensate for voltage drop errors that may occur at the field device.
MCC's entire USB family is fully compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0, and is supported by the Windows 2000/XP/Vista operating systems.
The USB-1608HS and USB-1608HS-2AO ship with an impressive array of software included in the MCC DAQ Software CD.
The disk includes applications, drivers, and libraries that meet the needs of programmers and nonprogrammers alike.
The USB-1608HS and USB-1608HS-2AO are also compatible with Measurement Studio-MCC Edition, DasyLab, and other third-party data acquisition application software.
