Description
The USB-6255, identified by part numbers 779959-01, 779958-01, 779958-04, and 779959-04, is a high-performance PC-based Multifunction DAQ (Data Acquisition) device. This device stands out in the field of data acquisition with its impressive 16-bit resolution, ensuring precise and accurate measurements.
It boasts a minimum of 24 Digital I/O Lines, allowing for extensive data input and output capabilities. Additionally, the USB-6255 features 7 programmable input ranges, providing flexibility to cater to various measurement requirements. One of the notable features of this device is its capability for both analog and digital triggering, enhancing the versatility and efficiency of data collection.
The USB-6255 is designed for a wide array of applications, including portable data logging, field-monitoring, embedded OEM applications, in-vehicle data acquisition, and academic labs. This makes it a highly versatile tool suitable for a broad spectrum of data acquisition tasks. To maintain its accuracy and reliability, a recommended calibration interval of every 2 years is advised.
With 40 differential or 80 single-ended analog input channels, the USB-6255 is capable of handling a large volume of data from various sources. The aggregate multichannel sampling rate is an impressive 750 kS/s, while the single-channel sampling rate reaches up to 1.25 MS/s, allowing for rapid data acquisition. Moreover, the input impedance of 820Ω minimizes loading on the measured signal, further ensuring measurement accuracy.
The device also includes sophisticated analog triggers, which consist of a start trigger, reference trigger, and pause trigger. These triggers offer 10-bit resolution and can operate in either analog edge or window triggering modes, providing users with powerful control over the data acquisition process.
