Device acts as Ethernet I/0 slave and more
The 'Cube' is flexible and is capable of being deployed as an Ethernet I/O slave, a standalone data logger, a standalone Linux-based PAC or a Modbus slave.
While we continue to exceed our customers' price expectations, the engineers of our USB-1408FS have also provided additional features that will enhance our customers' overall measurement experience." The USB-1408FS provides eight single-ended or four differential analogue inputs, 14-bit resolution in differential mode, 13-bit resolution in single-ended mode, eight software selectable input ranges, with sample rates up to 48 kilosamples per second.
In addition to the analogue inputs, the unit provides two channels of 12-bit analogue output, a 32-bit counter and 16 bits of digital I/O.
It is fully compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0, and is supported by the Windows 2000 and XP operating systems.
At 3.25in (8.26cm) wide, by 3.125in (7.94cm) long, by 1.00in (2.54cm) high, the USB-1408FS is just large enough to make connecting field wiring easy, yet small enough to fit on even the most crowded bench.
Magnetic and Velcro mounting options along with a 0.225in (0.57cm) attachment hole make mounting easy, even in unconventional installations.
The attachment hole can also be used with a cable lock or padlock in applications where unit security is required.
The USB-1408FS is bundled with a USB cable and the following software: * InstaCal, an all-in-one installation, setup, calibration, and test application.
InstaCal makes setting up and retrieving data as simple as a few mouse clicks.
* TracerDAQ, Measurement Computing's powerful stripchart recorder, oscilloscope and data logging application.
* Universal Library and UL for LabVIEW, powerful language interfaces that allow users to write programs in all of the popular programming languages using easy-to-understand, high-level command syntax. Request a free brochure from Adept Scientific ...
