Data Translation

A real-time data acquisition module extends Data Translation’s recently launched generation of ARM-based embedded data acquisition solutions. The DT7816 is based on a Linux platform with Cortex-A8 processor and 2GB Flash memory. The module provides eight 16-bit analogue inputs supporting simultaneous data acquisition with a sampling rate of up to 400 kHz per channel.

Three USB data acquisition modules from Data Translation are offered as complete high-accuracy temperature measurement solutions including the easy-to-use QuickDAQ data logging software. The DT9828, DT9829 and DT9874 modules support the direct connection of thermocouples and thermistors, and provide highly accurate 24-bit A/D technology and galvanic isolation.

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.

Data Translation announces the release of a series of USB multifunction data acquisition modules for simultaneously measuring different signals on multiple channels. The instruments feature a dedicated 16-bit A/D converter for each analog input. Even with the highest sampling rates – between 800 kHz and 10 MHz per channel, depending on the model – the multifunction modules effectively eliminate external influences that can affect measurement accuracy and are inherent, for example, in multiplexed systems or high-ohmic sensors.

Data Translation announces the release of three new 12-bit USB data acquisition modules for their ECONseries. Multifunctional, economical and easy-to-use, the new DT 9812A, DT 9813A and DT 9814A instruments are twice as fast as existing popular models and boast a sampling rate increase from 50 kHz to 100 kHz. Key features include 8, 16 or 24 analog inputs, two analog outputs (12-bit) with 75 kHz per channel, and up to 16 digital I/O channels depending on the model. A counter/timer allows frequency measurement and continuous pulse output operations. For easy portability, the modules are USB powered.

Data Translation announces the release of a cutting-edge data acquisition module that sets new standards in 16-bit high-speed data acquisition via USB 2.0. With up to 10 MHz signal sampling and direct streaming to the PC, the new DT9862 can provide twice the USB throughput rates achievable with comparable solutions currently available on the market. All I/O channels are galvanically isolated to ensure ultra-high measurement accuracy and signal integrity. In addition, the new module also features flexible clock and trigger functions (e.g. pre-, post- and about-trigger modes).

Data Translation announces the release of a new high-performance data acquisition module for sound and vibration analysis. The DT9837C features 24-bit resolution and is designed specifically for audio testing and acoustic measurement applications. For easy portability, the compact module is USB powered. The new DT9837C provides four 24-bit A/D inputs with software-programmable IEPE sensor functions, anti-aliasing filters, and an analog 24-bit output for generating signals with a maximum sampling frequency of 96 kHz.

Data Translation announces the latest addition to its line of high performance, multifunction USB data acquisition boards for OEM’s. The DT9818 is aimed at embedded applications rather than the more common USB approach of connecting externally to the PC. Importantly, users do not need an external power supply since the module runs completely on USB power while at the same time offering ±500V galvanic isolation, a critical feature for industrial embedded systems.

Data Translation announces the release of Measure Foundry 5.1 featuring Vista® support and the addition of new components. The new Analog Input Synched component is specially designed to allow synchronization of two DT9837A modules, reducing development time as the two devices are presented in a single component configurable as one device with twice the channels. The new ASCII File Writer component allows the user to easily save data directly to a text file. Also in this release are new Measurement Applets, including the Sound and Vibration Applet.

Data Translation announces the Ethernet (LXI) version of their ultra-accurate temperature measurement instrument TEMPpoint. This network-ready version of the popular instrument provides a standard Ethernet connection to support remote monitoring and control of thermocouples, RTD's and voltages; in the field, in the laboratory and on the factory floor.
