High-speed, low-cost data acquisition
USB modules
Measurement Computing has developed two high performance DAQ USB modules: 8 simultaneously sampled, 16-bit analog inputs at 250 kHz per channel.
Measurement Computing, a leader in low-cost data acquisition, announced two high-speed additions to their USB product line: the USB-1608HS and the USB-1608HS-2AO These USB-based DAQ modules provide true simultaneous data capture of up to eight channels of 16-bit single ended or differential analog input at 250 kHz per channel

Affordable data acquisition device wins award
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'.
Both units include 16 bits of digital I/O and an extensive suite of software.
The USB-1608HS-2AO has an additional two channels of 16-bit analog output with a range of -10 to +10 volts.
At a list price of $1,199 for the USB-1608HS, and $1,399 for the USB-1608HS-2AO, these new high-performance DAQ modules offer unprecedented value.

USB provides 16 x 16 bit inputs
Measurement Computing Corporation has announced the release of its new high-speed, USB-based analog input interface, providing 16 simultaneously-sampled 16-bit analog inputs.
Both the USB-1608HS and 1608HS-2AO use a separate A/D converter for each channel.
Each device is capable of acquiring data in either a software paced or continuous scan mode.
Additional key test and measurement features include...
* Differential inputs offer increased accuracy by reducing measurement errors caused by ground loops and noise as seen with single-ended measurements.
* An analog trigger function lets you start and control analog input acquisitions based on the value of a digital or analog signal.
* A synchronisation input line allows you to provide an external sampling clock for the analog inputs;A synchronisation output line lets you output the internal or external sampling clock of the analog inputs to synchronise other devices in your system.
* The two independent 16-bit analog output channels on the USB-1608HS-2AO can be configured with a remote sensing option to compensate for voltage drop errors that may occur at the field device.
MCC's entire USB family is fully compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0, and is supported by the Windows 2000/XP/Vista operating systems.
The USB-1608HS and USB-1608HS-2AO ship with an impressive array of software included in the MCC DAQ Software CD.
The disk includes applications, drivers, and libraries that meet the needs of programmers and nonprogrammers alike.
