Introducing the USB-1608FS

The USB-1608FS is an analog input and digital I/O data acquisition device providing the following features:

Eight 16-bit single-ended (SE) analog input channels
Each input channel has a dedicated A/D converter for simultaneous sampling.
Software-selectable analog input ranges of ±10 V, ±5 V, ±2 V, and ±1 V

Eight individually configurable digital I/O channels

One 32-bit event counter

One external digital trigger input

Bidirectional external clock for synchronous operations with a second device.

Screw terminals for field wiring connections
The device is powered by the +5V USB supply from the computer, and requires no external power.
The USB-1608FS is a full-speed device that is compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports. The speed of
the device may be limited when using a USB 1.1 port due to the difference in transfer rates on the USB 1.1
versions of the protocol (low-speed and full-speed).
