Description
The DAQPad-1200 is a legacy DAQ (Data Acquisition) device, carrying the part number 776895-06. This multi-input/output unit is specifically designed for applications requiring high reliability and versatility in data acquisition tasks. It supports NI-DAQ for operating systems such as Windows 2000, NT, and 9x, and is configured to work with a 240 VAC power supply in the UK.
When it comes to power options, the DAQPad-1200 is highly adaptable, offering models for US 120 VAC (776895-01), UK 240 VAC (776895-06), and a Universal Euro 240 VAC version (776895-31). This ensures that the device can be used in various geographic locations without the need for additional power conversion accessories.
For communication, it utilizes a parallel port, supporting both standard and enhanced modes. Additionally, it includes a parallel port connector for pass-through connections, adding to its flexibility in system setup and integration.
The device boasts 8 single-ended or 4 differential analog input channels, which are programmable to suit a wide range of measurement needs. This feature, coupled with software selectable gains of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100, allows for precise data acquisition and signal processing according to the requirements of the experiment or application at hand.
Software compatibility is another strong suit of the DAQPad-1200. It is compatible with a variety of software platforms including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Lookout, BridgeVIEW, Measure, ComponentWorks, and VirtualBench. This wide range of software compatibility ensures that users can easily integrate the device into existing systems or setups without significant changes to software or workflows.
For powering up, users have several options including an AC Adapter, an optional BP-1 battery pack, or a 9 – 42 VDC source. This flexibility in power sources further enhances the DAQPad-1200’s usability in various field and lab environments.
In conclusion, the DAQPad-1200 is a highly versatile
