RedLab-1208FS USB 50kHz DAQ Unit


Description

 

The RedLab-1208FS sets a new standard for low-cost, PC-based analogue and digital I/O. Providing 8 single-ended inputs with 11-bit resolution or 4 differential inputs with 12-bit resolution, the unit offers sample rates up to 50 kilosamples/sec with 8 software selectable input ranges. The unit also provides 2 channels of 12-bit analogue output, one 32-bit counter and 16 bits of digital I/O. Supplied with free chart recording software, and drivers for most DAQ packages and programming languages.

Input Sampling

 

The RedLab 1208FS is a USB 2.0 full-speed device supported under popular Microsoft® Windows® operating systems. It is designed for USB 1.1 ports, and was tested for full compatibility with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports.

The RedLab 1208FS features eight analog inputs, two 12-bit analogue outputs, 16 digital I/O connections, and one 32-bit external event counter. The RedLab 1208FS is powered by the +5 volt USB supply from your computer. No external power is required.

The analogue inputs are software configurable for either eight 11-bit single-ended inputs, or four 12-bit differential inputs. Sixteen digital I/O lines are independently selectable as input or output in two 8-bit ports.

A 32-bit counter can count TTL pulses. The counter increments when the TTL levels transition from low to high (rising-edge).

A SYNC (synchronization) input / output line lets you pace the analogue input acquisition of one USB module from the clock output of another.
