RedLab-430X USB Timer/Counter Unit
Description
Now you can build USB based counter applications with the RedLab-4301 and RedLab-4303. The RedLabs’ 5 or 10 counters with 16 bit resolution can be used for event counting, frequency measurement, frequency division, single-shot, square signal generation with symmetric or variable duty cycle PWN generation. Supplied with free function generator software, and drivers for most DAQ packages and programming languages.

Counter Timer
The RedLab 430X are USB-based high-performance, low-cost counter/timer devices. The RedLab 4301 has 1 x 9513 counter/timer chip whilst the 4303 has 2 x 9513. The 9513 chip has five independent 16-bit counters (65,536 counts). Each counter has an input source, internal count register, load register, hold register, output, and gate. The 9513 is software-programmable for event counting, pulse and frequency measurement, alarm comparisons, and other input functions. The 9513 can generate frequencies with either complex duty cycles, or with one-shot and continuous-output modes. You can chain up to five 9513 counters together using software to enable a 32-,48-, 64-, or 80-bit counter that does not require hardware connections. The gate source and gating functions are software-programmable. An eight-bit, high-current digital output port provides logic-level control, and can be used to switch solid state relays. An eight-bit digital input port can be used to sense contact closures and other TTL level signals.
Included Software
Universal Library (programming language support for Windows, Vista). InstaCAL utility (for easy installation, calibration and test). TracerDAQ application - 1 channel rate generator: Output of a square signal on one channel, compatible with the counters of the RedLabs 430x. Driver for LabVIEW.
