USB DAQ Unit Samples all Channel Simultaneously

The RedLab-1608FS is a low cost 8 channel, 16-bit 50kHz data acquisition unit featuring simultaneous sampling on all input channels. The RedLab-1608FS is ideal for applications that require higher sampling rates per channel such as transient signal analysis or simultaneous acquisition of data for phase sensitive applications.

The RedLab 1608FS offers true simultaneous sampling of up to eight channels of 16-bit single-ended analogue input. This is accomplished through the use of one A/D converter per channel. The range of each channel is independently configurable via software. Eight digital IO lines are independently selectable as input or output.

Multiple-channel continuous sampling rates up to 100 kilosamples/sec total, where the maximum sampling rate per channel is 50 kilosamples/second (2 channels can be sampled at 50 kS/s, 3 channels at 33.3 kS/s, 4 channels at 25 kS/s etc.). A burst mode is also provided that allows 4 channels to be sampled at 50 kS/s each for up to 32,768 total samples. Input ranges of ±10V, ±5V, ±2V and ±1 volt are software selectable and each channel may be set at any of the four ranges independent of other channels.

A SYNC (synchronization) control line allows you to synchronize two RedLab 1608FS modules together to acquire data synchronously from 16 analogue inputs.

A 32-bit counter is capable of counting TTL pulses. The RedLab 1608FS is powered by the +5 volt USB supply from your computer. No external power is required.

Supplied with free chart recording software, and drivers for most DAQ packages and programming languages.

PDS7102 100MHz 500MSPS Digital Oscilloscope

The PDS7102 is a full-featured 100MHz two-channel bench-top oscilloscope with 8bit resolution, perfect for any Engineer’s or Technicians desk. With a large 7.8" 640 x 480 colour LCD, the PDS7102 is small enough and light enough to carry anywhere. With a buffer size of 6K samples, PDS7102 sampling range is 500MSPS with synchronous 8-bit sampling on both channels. Sensitivity range is 5mV/div~5V/div. The USB connection makes printing stored results easy.

The PDS7102 can automatically measure and display frequency and peak-peak/ rms/mean values, and cursors can be moved to make individual readings. A built-in self-calibration facility improves measurement accuracy. Video monitoring is also possible with triggering on NTSC/PAL/SECAM line or field waveforms.

The PDS7102 can store up to 4 waveforms for comparison with live inputs. A persistence control is available too which simulates old analogue scopes, to compare slow-moving waveforms with previous scans. X-Y display allows you to see phase changes. A+B and A-B maths capability is also included.

Accessories provided with the PDS6062 include two x1/x10 passive oscilloscope probes, CD manual, PC download software, mains power cable and a USB cable.

DAQFactory Starter Data Acquisition software

Available from Audon Electronics is a new cut-down version of the popular DAQFactory data acquisition and control package called DAQFactory Starter.

DAQFactory Starter offers all the basic features of an HMI / SCADA software tool including data acquisition from a wide range of devices (limited to 16 I/O points), data logging to ASCII and binary files, three user definable screens with 44 screen components, powerful graphing and trending, plus Email and FTP out.

If you have a small application with less then 16 I/O points and don't need any of the advanced features of a full SCADA package, then DAQFactory Starter is probably just right for you. Plus, if your system grows, you can always upgrade. DAQFactory Starter is only £29.
