An affordable data acquisition device that brings analogue and digital I/O to any PC's USB port for data acquisition applications has won a Readers' Choice Award from the 'Desktop Engineering'.
Measurement Computing's USB-based DAQ module, the PMD-1208LS, has won a Readers' Choice Award from the US magazine Desktop Engineering.
The PMD-1208LS is a very affordable data acquisition device that brings analogue and digital I/O to any PC's USB port for a variety of data acquisition applications.
Currently available in the UK at just GBP 86 ex-VAT, its low cost makes it economical to equip every PC-based workstation in an organisation with data acquisition capability, eliminating the need to share hardware.
It is compatible with USB 1.1 or 2.0 ports on notebook, desktop or rack-mount PCs.
Within its compact, modern design, the PMD-1208LS provides 8 channels of 12-bit analogue input, sample rates to 1.2 kS/s (8kSps for 4000 samples), two D/A outputs and 16 DIO bits, with signals brought out to screw terminals.
The price includes ready-to-run software applications including a Strip Chart recorder and a Data Logger which directly writes to Excel files.
The supplied Universal Library software driver for use with Windows-based programming languages includes LabVIEW and SoftWIRE instrument drivers.
Other devices in the low-cost PMD range include 16-bit analogue input and 24-bit digital I/O models.
OEM versions are also available.
The PMD (Personal Measurement Device) series and the full Measurement Computing range of data acquisition hardware and software are supplied and supported in the UK and Ireland by Adept Scientific plc.
