Four-Channel Strain- and Bridge-Based USB

Data Translation announces the release of a new USB data acquisition module designed for direct connectivity with applications including strain, load, pressure, and other bridge-based measurements. The DT9838 supports full-, half- and quarter-bridge strain gage configurations with programmable bridge excitation up to 10 V and TEDS (IEEE 1451.4) Class II sensor compatible. Featuring simultaneous 24-bit A/D converters and a high sampling rate of up to 52 kS/s per channel, the new data acquisition module is ideal for high-accuracy measurements using dynamic sensors. The module runs on USB power so that no external power supply is needed for most configurations.
