USB-1208LS USB-Based DAQ Module with Eight 12-Bit Analog Inputs

USB-1208LS
USB-Based DAQ Module with Eight 12-Bit Analog Inputs

The bus-powered USB-1208LS from Measurement Computing adds a low-cost analog and digital I/O interface to any USB port. Providing eight single-ended or four differential analog inputs with 12-bit resolution, the USB-1208LS offers sample rates up to 1.2 kilosamples/sec (8 kS/s for up to 4000 samples). The USB-1208LS also offers eight software selectable input ranges, making it ideally suited for a wide assortment of measurements. In addition to the analog inputs, the unit provides two 10-bit analog outputs, one 32-bit counter, and 16 digital I/O lines.

The USB-1208LS is reliable and rugged enough for any DAQ application. If it weren’t, it wouldn’t come with an industry-best limited lifetime warranty and Harsh Environment Program.

The combination of the USB-1208LS and Measurement Computing’s DAQ software suite gives you a complete data acquisition solution that will have you taking measurements in minutes. The device is fully USB plug and play and easy to use. It is powered from the USB port, so no external power connection is ever required.
