USB Data Acquisition Module

Data Translation announces the release of a new addition to its range of low-cost USB data acquisition modules. The new DT9828E thermocouple measurement module expands the DT9828 series. Designed for users looking for a cost-effective module, it provides all the basic features for temperature measurements and analyses without galvanic isolation and four instead of eight differential inputs for thermocouples. No compromises are made in terms of accuracy: The module provides the same 24-bit A/D technology as the other modules of the series, and achieves a typical accuracy of +/-0.1 °C. The included software package is just as uncompromising. The new product comes with an extensive set of drivers, tools and interfaces (e.g. for LabVIEW, MATLAB, etc.) and with the QuickDAQ 2013 data logging software. The module thus offers users a ready-to-measure solution for acquiring, displaying and saving data, and for exporting it to an Excel file. It achieves sampling rates of up to 600 Hz and runs entirely on USB power. The thermocouples are connected via screw terminals and automatically linearized on-board. The DT9828E supports the thermocouple types B, E, J, K, N, R, S and T.
