Form Factor | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Panel / Chassis Mount | Devices attach to a panel or bolt onto a chassis. | ||
Modular Bay / Slot System | Devices stack in modular bays or slots, and can be interfaced to other units. | ||
Rack Mount | Devices are rack-mounted and fit inside enclosures such as a standard 19 in. telecommunications rack. | ||
DIN Rail | Devices mount on a standard DIN rail. DIN is an acronym for Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), a German national organization for standardization. | ||
Stand Alone | Devices are benchtop or floor-standing units with a full casing or cabinet, and an integral interface. | ||
Other | Other unlisted form factors. | ||

Device Specifications

Analog Input Channels: | This is the maximum number of analog channel inputs. The single-ended number is specified when single-ended inputs are available as twice the number of differential inputs. Differential channels use the difference between two signals as an input; common mode is filtered out. In some systems, differential inputs are combinations of two single-ended inputs. When this is the case, twice the number of differential channels are available as single-ended inputs. | ||
Search Logic: | All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value. | ||
Differential Channels | Differential channels have two inputs. The signal to process is the voltage (V) difference between the two inputs. For example, if one reading is 4.93 V and the other reading is 5.16 V, the meaningful value is the 0.23 V difference between the two. Often, this applies to precision measurements where the difference between two low-voltage inputs is small but critical. | ||
Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||
Digital I/O Channels | Digital or discrete channels are used for low-level on-off signals used in applications such as communication, user interface, or control. | ||
Search Logic: | All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value. | ||
Isolation | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Channel-to-Channel Isolation | The module channels are isolated from each other. | ||
Isolated Analog Voltage Input | The input voltage terminals are isolated. | ||
Isolated Analog Voltage Output | The output voltage terminals are isolated. | ||
Isolated Digital Input | The digital input voltage terminals are isolated. | ||
Isolated Digital Output | The digital output voltage terminals are isolated. | ||
Other | Other unlisted types of isolation. | ||
