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 AI-EXP48 plug-in expansion module coupled with any of the USB-1616HS series modules can quadruple the analogue input channel count.
The USB-1616HS series modules have a low-latency control output mode, whereby any input - analogue, digital, or counter, can control an output - digital, analogue, or timer, based on pre-defined limits, including hysteresis.
The outputs are controlled directly from the USB-1616HS series module, and do not require PC intervention.

Catalogue focuses on USB-based acquisition
Measurement Computing Corp has published a new "USB-based DAQ" catalogue.
This results in response times that are measured in microseconds instead of ms.
The USB-1616HS series offers extensive trigger options, ranging from analogue trigger with 1us max latency, to multichannel triggering, where any combination of analogue, digital, and counter input channels can be combined to initiate the trigger.
Other trigger modes include digital pattern, level, edge, inside/outside window, and pre- and post-trigger.
The packaging for the USB-616HS series is designed to make it easy for the user to use in a variety of applications.
Removable screw terminals facilitate attaching and removing without having to re-wire.
The modules can be easily DIN-rail mounted for applications where the device is mounted in a rack or with a protective enclosure.
The number of analogue input channels on the USB-1616HS series can be quadrupled with the addition of the AI-EXP48 analogue input expansion module option, increasing from 8 diff/16 single-ended inputs to 32 diff/64 single-ended inputs.
All of the features of the built-in analogue channels are included when the AI-EXP48 is attached, including the ability to measure thermocouples on any input channel.
Users can simply plug the AI-EXP48 directly into a USB-1616HS series module, or use an optional cable.
The USB-1616HS series modules ship with an array of software, including the new TracerDAQ, a full-featured, out of the box data logging, viewing, and analysis application; Universal Library; UL for LabView ; and Insta Cal installation, calibration, and test utility - powerful software solutions for programmers and nonprogrammers alike.
The USB-1616HS series will be available in September.
