USB 16-bit multifunction module with BNC inputs

Based on Measurement Computing's popular USB-1616HS series, the USB-1616HS-BNC provides the added security and convenience of BNC connectors.

Unique to the USB-1616HS Series is a low-latency, highly deterministic control output mode that operates independently of the PC. In this mode, digital, analog, and timer outputs can respond to analog, digital, and counter inputs as fast as 2 µs; at least 1,000 times faster than other USB DAQ products that rely on the PC for decision making.

The USB-1616HS-BNC offers extensive trigger options, ranging from an analog trigger with 1 µs max latency, to multi-channel triggering, where any combination of analog, digital, and counter input channels can be combined to initiate the trigger. Other trigger modes include digital pattern, level, edge, inside/outside window, and pre- and post-trigger.

USB-1616HS-BNC features:

Analog Inputs via BNC connectors

  • 16 differential analog inputs
  • 16-bit resolution
  • 1 MS/s throughput rate
  • 7 programmable input ranges from ±100 mV to ±10 V, full scale
  • Over-sampling mode, including line-cycle rejection for low-level voltage measurements, even in the presence of AC power line noise

Analog Outputs and Digital I/O via 37-pin DSUB female connector

  • Two 16-bit, 1 MS/s analog outputs
  • 16 digital I/O bits with a 4 MHz sample/update rate
  • 4 counter inputs capable of measuring frequency, period, pulse width, or quadrature encoders up to 20 MS/s
  • 2 timer outputs

All analog inputs, analog outputs, digital I/O and counter/timer I/O can occur synchronously, resulting in precise time correlation among all I/O. Low latency control outputs are capable of responding to inputs in as fast as 2 µs.

The USB-1616HS-BNC ships with an impressive array of software, including TracerDAQ, a full-featured data logging, viewing, and analysis application; Universal Library; UL for LabVIEW®; and InstaCal installation, calibration, and test utility—powerful software solutions for programmers and non-programmers alike.

USB 1-MHz, 16-bit multifunction module

The USB-1616HS delivers outstanding performance with synchronous analog, digital, and frequency I/O in one compact package. It has a unique, low-latency control output mode, whereby any input—analog, digital, or counter, can control an output—digital, analog, or timer, based on pre-defined limits, including hysteresis. The outputs are controlled directly from the USB-1616HS series module, and do not require PC intervention. This results in response times that are measured in microseconds instead of milliseconds

The USB-1616HS offers extensive trigger options, ranging from analog trigger with 1 µs max latency, to multichannel triggering, where any combination of analog, digital, and counter input channels can be combined to initiate the trigger. Other trigger modes include digital pattern, level, edge, inside/outside window, and pre- and post-trigger.
