Description
The USB-6008 is a low-cost DAQ (Data Acquisition) device that offers a range of features suitable for a variety of measurement and control applications. This device is bus-powered, eliminating the need for an external power source, which simplifies setup and deployment. With its part numbers 779051-01, 779320-22, 779718-01, 191039-02, 193132-02, the USB-6008 is easily identifiable and supports a wide range of configurations.
It includes 8 single-ended or 4 differential analog input channels, allowing for flexible data collection from various sensors. Additionally, it offers 2 analog output channels with software-timed outputs ranging from 0 to 5 Volts, suitable for sending signals or controlling external devices. The device also features 12 digital I/O channels for interfacing with switches, LEDs, and other digital components, along with a 32-bit integrated counter for precise event counting or timing operations.
The USB-6008 operates with a full-speed USB interface, ensuring reliable and fast data transfer to and from a connected computer. It supports a sample rate of up to 10 kS/s (kilo-samples per second), enabling the capture of rapid signal variations over time. A green LED indicator provides visual confirmation of the device’s operational status at a glance.
An important feature of the USB-6008 is its Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA), which enhances its capability to perform differential measurements by providing input gains. This feature is particularly useful in applications requiring precise measurement of small signal variations.
The device is supported by NIDAQmx driver software, which facilitates integration with development environments and simplifies programming tasks. It is compatible with several Application Development Environments (ADEs) including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Measurement Studio, and LabVIEW SignalExpress, making it a versatile choice for engineers and scientists working in various programming contexts.
