Adept Scientific has added Measurement Computing’s lightweight, high-performance, multifunction USB-QUAD08 data acquisition device to its range. Designed with rotational measurement in mind, the new unit has simultaneous input and decoding for a full eight incremental quadrature encoders. It also offers 48-bit resolution, 10 MHz counters and a jitter of less than 1 µsec.
The eight quadrature counters with indicator LEDs support both differential and single-ended inputs and feature multiple programmable counting modes. Fully featured and easy to use, the USB-QUAD08 has detachable screw terminals and two 37-pin D-sub connectors, pin- compatible with Measurement Computing’s PCI-QUAD04, for upgrade/migration from PCI.
