USB-1608FS 8 Channel Simultaneous Sampling
Overview
The Measurement Computing USB-1608FS from Firetail DAQ adds a low-cost, 8-channel, 16-bit analog interface to any USB port. The USB-1608FS provides one A/D converter per channel, allowing simultaneous sampling over all 8 Single Ended inputs. The USB-1608FS offers continuous single-channel sample rates up to 50 kS/s, and multiple-channel continuous sampling rates up to 100 kS/s total. A burst mode is also provided which allows an overall throughput of 200 kS/s for up to 32K total samples. Input ranges of ±10 V, ±5 V, ±2 V and ±1 V are software selectable, and each channel may be set at any of the four ranges, independent of other channels. The combination of the USB-1608FS and Measurement Computing’s DAQ software suite gives you a complete data acquisition solution that will have you taking measurements in minutes. The device is fully USB plug and play and easy to use. It is powered from the USB port, so no external power connection is ever required.
