ADLINK Unveils USB 2.0 Signal Acquisition Module
ADLINK Technology has released a four-channel USB 2.0 dynamic signal acquisition module, the USB-2405. A built-in IEPE excitation current source provides 2mA on each AI channel, and BNC connectors enable the USB-2405 to provide high accuracy and excellent dynamic performance for microphone and accelerometer measurement in vibration and acoustic applications.
FeatThe module supports four analogue input channels simultaneously sampling up to 128kS/s, and delivers 100dB dynamic range and -94dB THD of dynamic performance. The anti-aliasing filters enable filter cutoff frequency to be automatically adjusted to the sampling rate, suppressing out-of-band noise and avoiding measurement distortion. It also supports auto-calibration for ensured accuracy, and minimises temperature drift in the field with maximum gain drift of 11ppm/°C, an impressive 50% of the maximum available market performance. The USB-2405’s low DC measurement drift, along with temperature deviation, optimise accuracy in spite of the environment.
Flexible sampling rate, and built-in DDS (direct digital synthesis) generate a programmable sample clock with superior frequency resolution, enabling resolution of 3x10-4 S/s. In addition, the module supports external digital/analogue trigger source, and flexible trigger modes including post, delay, middle, gated, pre-trigger, and re-trigger.
Lockable USB enhances connectivity, and the included multi-functional stand fully supports desktop, rail, or wall mounting. ADLINK's U-Test software is included at no extra charge. The module supports Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows XP operating systems, and is fully compatible with third-party software such as LabVIEW, MATLAB, and Visual Studio.NET.
