MI16080 galvanically isolated USB Data Acquisition System

• Galvanic isolation between data acquisition and USB part. These parts do not share a common ground; for that reason current loops or earth loops are eliminated. High quality GMR isolator and DC/DC converter with a rated isolation voltage of 2500V*
  
  
• 16 analog inputs with 12 bit resolution at 100kHz sum sample rate
  
  
• Single-ended or differential inputs
  
  
• 8 analog output channels using 8 seperate DACs with 12 bit resolution
  
  
• 10 digital I/O ports
  
  
• Power supply using USB, low power consumption of 0.4W (5V/80mA)  only
  
  
• Easy-to-use API for most used programming languages and applications
  
• Isolated sensor power supply 5V/25mA
  
• Versions available for 48,3cm / 19" racks , with or without enclosure
  
  

Features

• Low power design - USB bus powered
  
  
• Aluminum enclosure: lightweight, excellent shielding, maximum stability and durability!
  
  
• Standard connectors: Mini USB connector for USB,  37 pole DSUB connector for analog I/O and ports.
  No proprietary cables and connectors needed!
  
  
• Sample rates:
• 100kHz sum sample rate at 16 input channels continously or in trigger mode
• 35kHz at one input channel  continously or in trigger mode . Any number of data points afer trigger
• 100kHz if less than 720 samples are taken at one channel (snapshot mode)
   
  
• 5V isolated sensor power supply
  
  
• Available in 5 versions:
• MI16084: 4V  / +-2V
• MI16081: 10V / +-5V
• MI16082: 24V / +-12V maximum input voltage
• MI16084-MA: 20mA current inputs
• Option -R for 48.3cm / 19" racks. Dimensions 20mm / 4TE and 13.3cm / 3HE. Rear USB connector. Front USB connector
  with aid of additional  6TE front panel.
• Option -P für PCB only version. -R and -P options can be combined.
• MI16080: custom made versions
• Signal conditioning with channel-seperated low or high pass filters.
• Combinations of input voltage ranges, i.e. 8 x 20mA, 8 x 4V
• All parts are integrated into the card
  
  
• Nearly simultaneous sampling: design guarantees a small and constant delay between adjacent channels during a multichannel data capture, even though only one ADC is used. This results in constant phase delays between signals regardless of the sample rate.
  
  
• Trigger mode: Capture starts after a specific condition occurs. It includes positive or negative edge detection or crossing of a preset voltage level
  
• Multichannel-trigger: Trigger can be used while multiple channels are captured. Simply select one channel as a trigger channel. This eliminates the need for an external trigger input
  
  
• FIFO memory  prevents data loss. The FIFO holds up to 80 seconds at maximum sample rate
  
• Internal temperature sensor used for drift compensation
  
• Operating systems: Windows® 98/Me, Windows® 2000, Windows® XP, Windows® Vista^TM.
  
  
• Programming language support (see PCDAQ Driver for detailed information):
  
  • Microsoft® Visual C++®
  • Microsoft® Visual Basic®
  • Microsoft® .NET / Visual C#
    
  • Agilent VEE
  • Borland Delphi
  • National Instruments LabVIEW
  • TransEra HTBasic

• Custom input configuration: You need a special input voltage range? Lowpass or highpass filter? We can tailor the card to your needs, for your measurement system remains compact. .
  

Software

The PCDAQ Driver that has been well-known for years in the PCMCIA card range supports the MF16080 as well. It provides the driver and the Online manual in PDF and HTML formats.

It supports application development using Microsoft® Visual C++®, Microsoft® Visual Basic®, Agilent VEE, Borland Delphi, National Instruments LabVIEW and TransEra HTBasic. The programming interface is retained from the PCMCIA card range – no surprises in programming the card.
