The USB-1604HS is a multifunction high-speed measurement and control board supported under popular Microsoft® Windows® operating systems. It features four single-ended 16-bit analog inputs, with one A/D converter per channel and a maximum sampling rate of 1.333 MHz per channel. The input range is software programmable for ±10 V, ±2.5 V, or ±500 mV. It also has 16 synchronous digital inputs and 16 synchronous digital outputs; four 16-bit or 32-bit counters (which can be configured to be gated); two timer/pulse width modulation (PWM) generators; and three 32-bit quadrature detectors to measure linear and rotary position.

A 68-pin SCSI connector provides connections for all inputs and outputs. Six BNC connectors provide alternate connections for the four analog inputs, external pacer clock and external digital trigger input.

The USB-1604HS samples all analog inputs, digital inputs, and counter inputs simultaneously. It can synchronize AI and DIO operations at rates of up to 1 MS/s, with aggregate throughput up to 8 MHz.

Operations can be paced with an internal or external clock.

A 500 V isolation barrier protects your computer from ground spikes, and ensures a reliable data stream. The USB 2.0 high-speed driver transfers data at rates up to 480 Mbps.

 Measurement Studio—MCC Edition: An integrated suite of measurement and automation controls, tools, and class libraries for Visual Studio 2005, and Visual Studio .NET 2003.
