Measurement Computing Corporation adds to their range of ruggedised USB-devices

The USB-3101FS with its robust metal outer casing is ideal for harsher environments and treatment. Ingress protected to IP40, the USB-3101FS is capable of withstanding –40 to 70 °C temperature fluctuations. Coupled with its easy ‘play and plug’ installation, the USB-3101FS is BUS powered making it perfect for working in the field.

With true multi-functionality the rugged USB-3101FS is a 4-channel, 100 kS/s simultaneously updating analogue output module which features ±30 V overvoltage protection, short-circuit protection, low crosstalk, fast slew rate, high relative accuracy and NIST-traceable calibration. The USB-3101FS module includes a channel-to-earth ground double isolation barrier for safety and noise immunity.

Software included with the USB-3101FS is extensive, including TracerDAQ®, a full-featured, data logging, viewing, and analysis application; Universal Library™, programming libraries and drivers for most popular Windows-based programming languages; Universal Library for LabVIEW™, VIs and program examples for LabVIEW; and InstaCal™ installation, calibration, and test utility.

As with all Measurement Computing data acquisition products the new devices are supported by the Universal LibraryTM, programming libraries and drivers for most popular Windows-based programming languages. This complete function library saves the user time by simplifying the configuration and operation of the measurement board and reducing human errors by eliminating detailed, low-level functions. The Universal Library requires little disk storage, making it ideal for integration into multiple instrument systems and OEM products.
