Measurement Computing Corporation has announced a low-cost USB analog input device. The USB-1408FS provides 8 single-ended or 4 differential analog inputs, 14-bit resolution in differential mode, 13-bit resolution in single-ended mode, 8 software selectable input ranges, with sample rates up to 48 kilosamples per second.

In addition to the analog inputs, the unit provides two channels of 12-bit analog output, a 32-bit counter, and 16 bits of digital I/O. It is fully compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0, and is supported by the Windows 2000 and XP operating systems.

At 3.25 in wide, by 3.125 in long, by 1.00 in high, the USB-1408FS is just large enough to make connecting field wiring easy, yet small enough to fit on even the most crowded bench. Magnetic and Velcro mounting options along with a 0.225-inch attachment hole make mounting easy, even in unconventional installations. The attachment hole can also be used with a cable lock or padlock in applications where unit security is required.

The USB-1408FS ships with a USB cable and software
