The DAQ-Pack Series is a highly integrated multifunction data acquisition and control system. It provides signal conditioning, RC filtering, current inputs, RTD measurement, bridge completion, thermocouple break detection, voltage dividers, small signal inputs, and a sensor excitation voltage supply.
Featuring a high-speed USB 2.0 interface and custom-designed device drivers, the system provides the bandwidth to support high-density, high-speed data acquisition. The system is available with 12 or 16-bit analog to digital converters capable of sampling speeds of up to 500 kHz divided equally across 32, 64, 96, or 128 single-ended or differential analog inputs.
Groups of eight channels at a time can be independently software configured to accept 18 different input ranges. A real-time internal calibration system allows the system to continually compensate for offset/gain errors giving a more accurate reading. Additional features include two 16-bit analog outputs, 16 high-current digital I/O lines, and a programmable 16-bit counter - all packaged in a small, rugged, gold-zinc plated industrial enclosure. The counter can be configured in a variety of modes and has the ability to use external signals to trigger and control the scanning of its analog inputs.
The system offers a suitable solution for adding portable, easy-to-install high-speed analog and digital I/O capabilities to any PC or embedded system with a USB port. The units provide the user with everything needed to start acquiring, measuring, analysing and monitoring in a variety of applications.
