Akron, OH. DATAQ Instruments has announced its Model DI-1120 USB data-acquisition system, which the company describes as its most advanced, low-cost DAQ system. The $178 DI-1120 provides four differential analog inputs and seven bidirectional discrete ports. Two ports are programmable as a counter or frequency input. The analog inputs have a programmable measurement range of ±2 to 100 V per channel and are multiplexed to a 14-bit ADC. The sample rate is programmable and can be as low as 2.2 samples per hour and as fast as 160,000 samples per second.
Included is DATAQ’s WinDaq software to allow ready-to-run data acquisition, display, playback, and analysis as well as .Net classes and ActiveX controls for programming the DI-1120 under Windows. A documented instrument protocol is also provided for operating systems. Software supports Windows 7 and higher, both 32- and 64-bit versions.
