The Agilent U2300A series USB multifunction data acquisition
(DAQ) devices can operate as a standalone unit or modular unit
(when used in a chassis). The U2300A series consists of basic
multifunction models (U2351A, U2352A, U2353A, and U2354A) and
high density multifunction models (U2355A, U2356A, and U2331A).
The basic multifunction DAQ can sample up to 500 kSa/s with a
resolution of 16 bits. Whereas, the high density multifunction DAQ
is able to sample up to 3 MSa/s for a single channel and up to 1
MSa/s for multiple channels. This makes it ideal when dealing with
high- density analog input/output signals and different input
ranges.
The U2300A series DAQ also features a 24- bit programmable
digital I/O and two independent 31- bit general purpose digital
counter. In addition to that, the U2300A is able to perform analog
and digital functions at full speed. It has a resolution range of 12
to 16 bits, with no missing codes. It comes with self calibration
capability. This enables the device to readjust its offset within the
specified accuracies and ranges.
The U2300A series DAQ devices are compatible with a wide range
of Application Development Environment (ADE), such as Agilent
VEE, LabVIEW and Microsoft Visual Studio. Bundled with the
purchase of every device is an easy- to- use data logging software,
the Agilent Measurement Manager.
