MCC USB-1208LS Multifunction USB DAQ Device
The Measurement Computing USB-1208FS-Plus/LS/1408FS-Plus Series consists of low-cost analog and digital I/O devices. All devices in this series offer four differential (DIFF) or eight single ended (SE) analog inputs, two analog outputs, 16 digital I/O and one event counter. The USB-1208LS offers sample rates up to 1.2 kS/s, while all USB-1208FS-Plus and USB-1408FS-Plus devices offer sample rates up to 50 kS/s. All devices in this series also support multiple software-selectable voltage input ranges, making them ideally suited for a wide assortment of measurements.
These devices are USB-powered and require no external power.
The USB-1208LS and USB-1208FS-Plus provide eight, 11-bit SE analog inputs or four, 12-bit DIFF analog inputs. The USB-1408FS-Plus These devices provide eight, 13-bit SE analog inputs or four, 14-bit DIFF analog inputs. All devices support software-selectable ranges that provide inputs from ±1 V to ±20 V in a DIFF configuration, and ±10 V in a SE configuration.
The USB-1208LS offers two 10-bit analog outputs with a range of 0 V to 5 V. The USB-1208FS-Plus and USB-1408FS-Plus offer two 12-bit analog outputs with a range of 0 V to 5 V.
All devices provide 16 TTL-level digital I/O lines. Digital I/O can be programmed on each 8-bit port (Port A and Port B) for either input (default) or output.
Each device supports one 32-bit TTL-level counter that accepts inputs up to 1 MHz.
USB-1208LS features a 1.2 kS/s sample rate, eight analog inputs, two 10-bit analog outputs, 16 digital I/O connections, and one 32-bit external event counter.
Software support includes DAQami, an optional 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 the most popular applications and programming languages including Visual C++®, Visual C#®, Visual Basic®.NET, DASYLab®, LabVIEW™, MATLAB®, Linux®, and Python™.
