There are eight digital I/O lines, with each digital channel software-selectable for both input and output.
The devices also feature a 32-bit counter input and two 16-bit analogue outputs; the latter can be updated at a rate up to 5 kS/s per channel. An external digital trigger input is software-selectable for rising edge or falling edge detection.
Removable screw-terminal connectors make signal connections easy. A high-speed Micro-USB cable is included and no external power source is needed.
The devices are supplied with a range of software, including out-of-the-box TracerDAQ for quick-and-easy logging and displaying of data; and InstaCal, an all-in-one package for installation, configuration and test. There’s also comprehensive support for C, C++, C#, Visual Basic, and Visual Basic.NET; and drivers for DASYLab and NI LabVIEW.
