Description
The USB-6251 is a PC-based multifunction DAQ (Data Acquisition) device that falls under the part number 779627-06. This device is specifically designed to cater to a variety of data acquisition needs with its versatile features. It supports 8 differential or 16 single-ended analog input channels, making it adaptable for various measurement requirements. With a sampling rate of up to 1.25 MS/s for a single channel and 1.00 MS/s for multiple channels, it ensures precise and rapid data capture.
One of the key specifications of the USB-6251 is its wide input range, which includes ±1 V, ±2 V, ±5 V, ±10 V, ±0.1 V, ±0.2 V, and ±0.5 V, providing flexibility in measuring signals of different amplitudes. Additionally, it boasts an input impedance of 10 GΩ whether powered on or off, ensuring minimal loading on the measured circuit.
The device requires a warm-up time of 30 minutes for optimal performance and is recommended to undergo calibration at least once every two years to maintain accuracy. For output capabilities, the USB-6251 provides 2 analog output channels with an update rate of up to 2.86 MS/s for a single channel and 2.00 MS/s for two channels. The output range is specified as ±5 V and ±10 V, catering to a variety of output requirements.
This device is designed for screw terminal connectivity and is specified for use in the UK with a 240V power supply. The USB-6251 (16 Analog Input, 1.25 MS/s) M Series DAQ Device is an ideal solution for high-performance data acquisition tasks, offering a blend of flexibility, precision, and ease of use.
