Analogue Inputs

 

The LabJack UE9-Pro has 14 external analogue inputs (AIN0-AIN13) and 2 internal analogue inputs (AIN14-AIN15). AIN0-AIN3 are available on screw terminals and also on the DB37 connector. All 14 analogue inputs are available on the DB37 connector.

Each analogue input can be configured individually as unipolar (0-5 volts) or bipolar (±5 volts). An internal PGA provides gains of 1, 2, 4, or 8 (unipolar ranges only at this time). Analogue input resolution is 12-bits at max speed (10 us conversion time giving 50kHz rate), increasing up to 16-bits at slower speeds (10 ms conversion time).

The UE9-Pro has an additional resolution setting that causes acquisitions to use the alternate high-resolution converter (24-bit sigma-delta). Resolution is configured on a device basis, not for each channel.

Thermocouples

It is possible to connect thermocouples directly to the UE9-Pro, if you don't require great accuracy: a resolution of ±1 °C is achievable. You need to set the resolution to maximum (17 bits) and use the highest gain setting. For high resolution readings, use the 24-bit mode. The UE9 has an internal temperature sensor, which can be used for cold junction compensation. DAQFactory contains thermocouple linearisation as a built-in conversion function. A DAQFactory thermocouple example is included.

 

Analogue Outputs

 

The LabJack UE9-Pro has 2 analogue outputs (DAC0 and DAC1) that are available both on screw terminals and the DB37 connector. Each analogue output can be set to a voltage between 0 and about 4.8 volts with 12-bits of resolution.

 

Digital I/O

 

The LabJack UE9-Pro has 23 digital I/O channels which can be individually configured as input, output-high, or output-low. 8 of these lines are called flexible digital I/O (FIO) and can be software configured as up to 6 timers and 2 counters.

The first 4 FIO are available on screw terminals and the DB37 connector. All 8 FIO and 3 MIO are available on the DB37 connector, and 8 EIO and 3 CIO are available on the DB15 connector.

Up to 6 FIO can be configured as timers. The timers are very flexible, providing options such as PWM output for motor control, pulse timing, and quadrature input. Up to 2 FIO can be configured as 32-bit counters.

 

Software

 

The LabJack UE9-Pro is supplied with a range of software which can also be downloaded here.

Control Panel Application

The LabJack Control Panel application handles configuration and testing of the UE9. When first opened it searches for connected LabJacks and displays a list. From the Control Panel Application, it is possible to change UE9-Pro IP addess, USB ID number and read/write all analogue/digital I/O.

Self-Upgrade Application

Both processors in the UE9-Pro have field upgradeable flash memory. The self-upgrade application programs the latest firmware onto either processor. FREE firmware upgrade will be available from time to time bringing improved performace and new features.

Programming

Includes Visual C and Visual Basic modules for the LabJackUD driver, and simple example projects.

 

In Use

 

Power Supply

Power can be provided by the USB cable or an external 5 volt supply. When only Ethernet is connected, and an isolated power supply is used, the entire UE9-Pro is electrically isolated.

High Channel Count Applications

By using USB hubs or Ethernet switches, many LabJacks can be interfaced to a single PC, providing an inexpensive solution for low-speed high channel count applications.

Wireless Data Acquisition

Combining the UE9-Pro with a standard 802.11 wireless Ethernet bridge provides inexpensive wireless data acquisition. Applications include high-speed continuous wireless data acquisition, long distance remote sensing and control, or PDA based data acquisition.

LJTick-InAmp

 

Signal-conditioning module provides two instrumentation amplifiers ideal for low-level signals such as bridge circuits (e.g. strain gauges) and thermocouples.

Each amplifier converts a differential input to single-ended. The LJTIA has switches to choose from 5 gain settings (x1, x11, x51, x201, or custom) and two output voltage offsets. The 4-pin design plugs into the standard AIN/AIN/GND/VS screw terminal block found on the U3.

User Manual >>

 

LJTick-Relay Driver

 

The LJTick-RelayDriver (LJTRD) allows 2 digital I/O lines on a U3 or UE9 to each control a relay or other moderate load. The 4-pin design plugs into the standard DIO/DIO/GND/VS screw terminal block found on newer LabJacks such as the U3 and UE9.

Each DIO controls a switch to ground (i.e. open-collector) that can hold off up to 50 volts and can sink up to 200 mA.

User Manual >>

 

LJTick-Divider

 

The LJTick-Divider (LJTD) is a signal-conditioning module designed to take 2 single-ended higher voltage analogue signals, and divide them down to 0-2.5 volt signals. The 4-pin design plugs into the standard AIN/AIN/GND/VS screw terminal block found on newer LabJacks such as the U3 and UE9.

The use of large resistors and a precision op-amp buffer provides an input impedance of 1 megaohm. By adding or replacing resistors, many other configurations are possible, as discussed in the datasheet.

LJTick-Divider

 

The LJTick-CurrentShunt (LJTCS) is a signal-conditioning module designed to convert a 4-20 mA current loop input signal into a 0.47-2.36 volt signal compatible with the LabJack U3 or UE9. The 4-pin design plugs into the standard AIN/AIN/GND/VS screw terminal block found on newer LabJacks such as the U3 and UE9.
