The USB-1608HS-2AO has an additional two channels of 16-bit analog output with a range of -10 to +10 volts. At a list price of $1,199 for the USB-1608HS, and $1,399 for the USB-1608HS-2AO, these new high-performance DAQ modules offer unprecedented value.

Both the USB-1608HS and 1608HS-2AO use a separate A/D converter for each channel. Each device is capable of acquiring data in either a software paced or continuous scan mode. MCC’s entire USB family is fully compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0, and is supported by the Windows 2000/XP/Vista operating systems.

The USB-1608HS and USB-1608HS-2AO ship with an array of software included in the MCC DAQ Software CD. The disk includes applications, drivers, and libraries that meet the needs of programmers and nonprogrammers alike.

The USB-1608HS and USB-1608HS-2AO are also compatible with Measurement Studio—MCC Edition, DASYLab, and other third party data acquisition application software.
