Adept Scientific has added Measurement Computing's USB-2416-XX data acquisition device to its range. The spectrum of different signals and applications to which the USB-2416XX family can be applied gives it a truly multi-functional DAQ role. It is a multiplexed 24-bit measurement system that provides up to 16 differential and up to 32 single-ended analogue inputs with a 1 kS/s aggregate throughput. It offers nine software-selectable analogue input ranges (±20 V, ±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, ±1.25 V, ±0.625 V, ±0.312 V, ±0.156 V, ±0.078 V).
The analogue inputs can also be configured as thermocouple inputs (up to 16 differentials). In thermocouple mode, both the USB-2416 and the USB-2416-4AO include built-in cold-junction compensation and open thermocouple detection.
In addition to the analogue inputs the USB-2416-XX includes eight lines of digital I/O and two 32-bit counters, plus four 16-bit analogue outputs with an update rate of 1kS/s, and an output range of ±10 V.
