The Digilent MCC USB-1608FS-Plus Simultaneous USB DAQ Device provides simultaneous sampling with a sample rate of 100 kS/s maximum for any one channel, and up to 400 kS/s aggregates for multiple channels. The device also features a 32-bit event counter, 8 digital I/O lines, external digital triggering, and a bidirectional clock. An OEM version is available for embedded applications.
Software support includes free DAQami software for out-of-the-box data logging, viewing of data, and generating signals. Also included are drivers for the most popular applications and programming languages including Visual C++, Visual C#, Visual Basic.NET, DASYLab, LabVIEW, MATLAB, Linux, and Python.
Analog Input: The USB-1608FS-Plus device has a dedicated A/D converter per analog channel for simultaneous sampling. It offers software-selectable analog input ranges for ±10 V, ±5 V, ±2 V, and ±1 V.
Simultaneous Sampling: Each analog input channel has a dedicated 16-bit A/D converter for true simultaneous sampling of all 8 inputs.
Sample Rates: With hardware paced mode, the maximum throughput rate is 100 kS/s for any one channel, up to about 400 kS/s aggregates for multiple channels. Use burst scan mode to run any number of channels at the maximum rate of 100kS/s up to the full capacity of the 32K sample FIFO. The maximum sampling rate is 800 kS/s aggregate for all channels.
Channel-Gain Queue: Users can configure a list of channels and gains for each scan. Each channel can have a different gain setting. The settings are stored in a channel-gain queue list that is written to local memory on the device. The channel-gain queue list can contain up to eight unique channels. The channels can be non-consecutive but must be listed in increasing order.
Digital I/O: Each of the eight digital I/O channels is individually configurable for input or output. When configured for input, the digital I/O terminals can detect the state of any TTL-level input. The digital I/O channels are high-drive (24 mA) connections.
Pull-Up/Down Configuration: The USB-1608FS-Plus has a user-configurable internal jumper to configure the digital bits for pull-up (default) or pull-down.
Counter Input: A 32-bit event counter can accept a signal up to 1 MHz. The internal counter increments when the TTL levels transition from low to high.
External Clock I/O: The USB-1608FS-Plus has a bidirectional external clock terminal. When configured for input, A/D conversions can be paced by an external source. The USB-1608FS-Plus supports TTL-level input signals up to 100 kHz. When configured for output, this device can pace A/D conversions on a second device and acquire data from all input channels simultaneously.
