General Description
The Personal Measurement Device™ brand PMD-1608FS from Measurement Computing adds a low cost 8 channel, 16-bit interface to any USB port. The PMD-1608FS provides one A/D converter per channel, allowing all 8 channels to be sampled simultaneously.
The PMD-1608FS offers continuous single-channel sample rates up to 50 kilosamples/sec. Multiple-channel continuous sampling rates up to 100 kilosamples/sec total, where the maximum sampling rate per channel is 50 kilosamples/second (2 channels can be sampled at 50 kS/s, 3 channels at 33.3 kS/s, 4 channels at 25 kS/s etc.). A burst mode is also provided that allows 4 channels to be sampled at 50 kS/s each for up to 32,768 total samples. Input ranges of ±10V, ±5V, ±2V and ±1 volt are software selectable and each channel may be set at any of the four ranges independent of other channels.
Reliable and rugged enough for industrial applications, yet inexpensive enough for home projects, the PMD-1608FS is the perfect way to add measurement and control capability to any USB capable computer. The PMD-1608FS is fully USB plug and play and easy to use. It obtains all required power from the USB port, so no external power connection is ever required.
At 3.25 inches wide by 3.125 inches long by 1 inch high, the PMDs are large enough to make connecting field wiring easy, yet small enough to fit on even the most crowded bench. Magnetic and Velcro mounting options along with a .225 inch attachment hole make mounting easy even in unconventional installations. The attachment hole can also be used by a cable lock or padlock in applications where unit security must be considered.
Free Software
All PMD modules include a comprehensive software suite. This software includes:
TracerDAQ™: out of the box software that allows you to read from both analogue and digital inputs, and also supports logging to disk at rates below 10 Hz. You can use the supplied programming tools, including Universal Library, Universal Library for LabVIEW and SoftWIRE, to access the analogue and digital outputs and create custom applications.
InstaCal™: Measurement Computing's intuitive installation and test application.
Universal Library™: Easy-to-use driver for Winows-based standard and .NET programming languages.
UL™ for LabVIEW™: Comprehensive LabVIEW drivers that allow you to use your existing NI-based VIs.
SoftWIRE® controls: The complete set of SoftWIRE DAQ controls is included with all PMDs.
