* Specifications, color and design of the products are subject to change
without notice.
Features
Input 4µsec/ch, 8ch, output 10µsec, 2ch, 16bit resolution
Equipped with the analog input (4µsec/ch, 16bit, 8ch) and digital I/O (4ch
each, LVTTL level)
Compatible to USB1.1/USB2.0 and not necessary to power this product
externally as the bus power is used.
Compatible to USB1.1/USB2.0 and capable to achieve high speed
transfer at HighSpeed (480 Mbps). Not necessary to power this product
externally as the bus power of USB is used.
Equipped with the buffer memory which can be used in either FIFO or
ring format
This product includes buffer memory (8K data for analog input and 1K
data for output) which can be used in either FIFO or ring format. You
can perform analog I/O in the background, independent of software and
the current status of the PC.
Windows compatible driver libraries are attached.
Using the attached driver library API-USBP(WDM) makes it possible to
create applications of Windows. In addition, a diagnostic program by
which the operations of hardware can be checked is provided.
Supported to the data logger software [C-LOGGER]
Supporting the data logger software [C-LOGGER] that enables the graph
display of recorded signal data, file saving, and dynamic transfer to the
spreadsheet software program "Excel".
Sampling can be driven by a clock or by various triggers
Sampling can be started and stopped by software or by an external
trigger (timing controlled by an externally input control signal).
The sampling period can be controlled by the internal clock (high-
precision timer included on the board) or by an external clock (externally
input control signal).
Terminal connector facilitating wiring
Wiring is easy as the terminal connector (screw type) is used.
Software-based calibration function
Calibration of analog input/output can be all performed by software.
Apart from the adjustment information prepared before shipment,
additional adjustment information can be stored according to the use
environment.
