MCC USB-1608G USB DAQ Device

Digilent's measurement computing USB-1608G is a USB-based, high-speed, multifunction DAQ device. This device offers 16 SE/8 DIFF analog inputs, eight digital I/O channels, two counter inputs, and one timer output. It is USB-powered and requires no external power. The USB-1608G provides 16-bit analog inputs that are software-selectable as eight DIFF or 16 SE inputs and supports input ranges of ±10 V, ±5 V, ±2 V, and ±1 V that are software-selectable per channel. It features a maximum 250 kS/s sample rate. The USB-1608G series devices have an external digital trigger input, and the trigger mode is software-selectable for edge- or level-sensitive mode. Users can configure edge-sensitive mode for either rising or falling edge. In level-sensitive mode, the trigger can be configured for either high or low level. The default setting at power up is edge sensitive, rising edge. Eight bidirectional digital I/O lines are individually configurable for input or output. The DIO terminals can detect the state of any TTL-level input. Users can configure for pull-up (+5 V) or pull-down (0 V) with an onboard jumper. Two 32-bit event counters are provided to count TTL pulses. The counters accept inputs of up to 20 MHz. A PWM timer output generates a pulse output with a programmable frequency in the range of 0.0149 Hz to 32 MHz. The timer output parameters are software selectable.

Software support includes DAQami, an out-of-the-box application for data logging, visualization, and signal generation. Data can be viewed in real-time or post-acquisition on user-configurable displays. Drivers are included for applications and programming languages, including Visual C++®, Visual C#®, Visual Basic® .NET, DASYLab®, LabVIEW™, MATLAB®, Linux®, and Python™.
