Description
>-20 °C to 60 °C
The USB-6218 is a high-performance, PC-based multifunction data acquisition (DAQ) device that offers a wide range of features designed to meet the needs of complex data acquisition tasks. This device supports a USB 2.0 connection, ensuring high-speed data transfer rates between the DAQ device and the connected PC. The USB-6218 is versatile, supporting 32 single-ended or 16 differential analog input channels, allowing for flexible configurations to suit various types of sensors and signals. Additionally, it provides two analog output channels with a 16-bit resolution, enabling precise control signals to be sent from the device.
One of the key specifications of the USB-6218 is its maximum sampling rate of 250 kS/s, which allows for high-speed data acquisition, essential for capturing transient events or monitoring fast-changing signals. The device also features a robust isolation voltage of 60 V, protecting the data acquisition hardware and the connected computer from harmful voltage spikes and surges.
For measurements requiring precise timing and counting, the USB-6218 includes two counter devices with a 32-bit resolution, along with four digital I/O channels, offering additional flexibility for digital communication and control tasks. The device can operate at either USB 2.0 high-speed or full-speed modes, depending on the requirements of the data acquisition session.
To ensure accurate performance, it is recommended that the USB-6218 is allowed a warm-up time of 15 minutes before use. Regular calibration, either annually or bi-annually, is advised to maintain the accuracy and reliability of measurements. The device operates within a temperature range of 0 °C to 45 °C, with a storage temperature range of -20 °C to 60 °C, making it suitable for use in a variety of environments without compromising its performance or longevity.
