Introducing the USB-1616FS

Overview: USB-1616FS features

This user's guide contains all of the information you need to connect the USB-1616FS to your computer
and to the signals you want to measure. The USB-1616FS is part of the Measurement Advantage™ brand
of USB-based data acquisition products.
The USB-1616FS is a USB 2.0 full-speed device supported under Microsoft® Windows® 98 (2
Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
The USB-1616FS provides true simultaneous sampling of up to sixteen 16-bit single-ended analog inputs.
Simultaneous input sampling is accomplished through the use of one A/D converter per channel. The
module features sampling rates of up to 50 kS/s per channel, and up to 9500 S/s per channel throughput for
all channels. You can configure the analog input range of each channel independently via software. An on-
board temperature sensor lets you monitor your environment temperature.
Eight digital IO lines are independently selectable as input or output. A 32-bit counter can count TTL
pulses. A SYNC (synchronization) control line lets you synchronize two USB-1616FS modules to acquire
data synchronously from 32 analog inputs.
The USB-1616FS is powered by an external +9 V unregulated power supply that is shipped with the board.
POWER OUT and USB OUT connectors let you power and control multiple Measurement Advantage
boards from one external power source and one USB port in a daisy chain fashion.
The USB-1616FS is enclosed in a rugged housing that you can mount on a DIN rail or on a bench. The
USB-1616FS is shown in Figure 1-1.
