Measurement Computing has announced the release of three low-cost, 16-bit high-drive analog output USB devices.

Measurement Computing has announced the release of three low-cost, 16-bit high-drive analog output USB devices.

These new products were expressly engineered to incorporate many user-suggested features that make the product line unique to the DAQ industry.

The USB-3110, USB-3112, and USB-3114 have integrated high-drive voltage outputs, eliminating the need for external high-drive amplifiers.

The USB-3100 series' proprietary architecture virtually eliminates dead-band (unresponsive) codes.

In addition, the product line is factory calibrated to be out-of-the-box ready for system deployment.

Bill Kennedy, MCC Vice President of Sales and Marketing, remarked, "Customers have enjoyed our low-cost USB multifunction DAQ devices.

We are excited to offer the USB-3100 series - a line of dedicated low-cost, high-drive analog output devices in the same convenient packaging.

Not only were we able to fulfill our customers requirements for a low-cost analog output device, we were able to engineer additional features to save our valued customers further time and money.

The USB-3100 series should be strongly considered for anyone performing PC control." All products in the USB-3100 line are fully compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports, and are supported under Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP operating systems.

Each of the voltage outputs is capable of sinking/sourcing up to 40 mA (maximum) of load current.

A bidirectional synchronization pin allows users to update the DAC outputs simultaneously on multiple devices.

The USB-3110 provides four channels of analog voltage output, eight digital I/O connections, and one 32-bit event counter.

The USB-3112 has eight analog voltage outputs, and the USB-3114 has sixteen.

All other features are the same.

At 5.0 inches wide, by 3.4 inches long, by 1.4 inch high, the USB-3100 series modules are just large enough to make connecting field wiring easy, yet small enough to fit on even the most crowded bench.

These products ship with a USB cable, a 5-volt, 2-amp AC power adapter, and the following software: - InstaCal, an all-in-one installation, calibration, and test application.

InstaCal makes setting up and testing the USB-3100 series devices as simple as a few mouse clicks.

- 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.
