MEASUREMENT & CONTROL. QUITE SIMPLE.

Record and output signals with the USB-AD: The USB data acquisition system is ideal for universal applications and due to the small size perfectly suitable for mobile use – just plug in and get going!
 

EXTRA SMALL. EXTRA RED. EXTRA LOW-PRICED.

The unique idea of the USB-AD: the data acquisition system is accommodated in the D-Sub connector housing. Not only the size is extra small but also the price.
 

16 ANALOG INPUTS. 1 ANALOG OUTPUT. 12 BIT. ±5V.

Voltage signals in the ±5V range are connected at 16 analog inputs. Sampling is done with 12 bit resolution and 10Hz per channel. The ±5V output can be used for analog control with 12 bit accuracy.
 

4 DIGITAL INPUTS/OUTPUTS EACH.

Digital states are recorded or controlled at four digital inputs and outputs each. Digital inputs are sampled time-synchronously with the analog inputs.
 

PLUG & PLAY.

The connection to the PC is realized via USB. The USB-AD provides all typical USB features (e.g. Plug&Play, Hot-Plug). Up to 127 devices can be connected and installed during operation.
 

 

 

POWERED BY USB.

The device is supplied with power via the USB interface. This reduces cabling efforts to a minimum and makes mobile measurements a lot easier.
 

OPEN FOR EVERYONE.

Widely supported: The data acquisition system can be used under Windows® 7/XP as well as under MAC OS X, Free BSD and Linux. The complete software for installation and programming of the USB-AD is included for free.

NEXTVIEW®. TRY FOR FREE.

The DAQ system is supported by NextView®, the software for data acquisition and analysis. A fully functional 14-day trial is available to directly test the functionality of the USB-AD.
