Use which data acquisition system ?

Mar 28, 2006 0 Replies

Hi, I start an experiment to take voltage readings of 6-8 samples. Just considering which data acquisition system to use? I am right now thinking about:


1) DI-148U


8-channel, 10-bit starter kit with =B110 volt input range. USB interface.



Using WinDaq/Lite recording software, WinDaq Waveform Browser

---------------------------------------


2) miniLAB 1008 - 8 Channel Daq Device


8 Single-Ended or 4 Differential Analog Inputs



12-Bit (Differential) / 11-Bit (Single-Ended) Resolution Two 10-Bit Analog Outputs
28 Bi-Directional Digital I/O Lines (24 through standard 37-pin connector; 4 through screw terminals) One 32-Bit External Event Counter

Using InstaCal and TracerDAQ Software

3) USB-based 8 Channel Data Acquisition Device -- USB-1208LS


4 differential/8 single-ended analog inputs



12-bit Differential / 11-bit Single-Ended Resolution Up to 50 kilosample/second sample rate
2 12-bit analog outputs
16 bits of DIO

Also using InstaCal and TracerDAQ Software



I 've never used InstaCal and TracerDAQ Software before, can it work well with the miniLAB 1008 and USB-1208LS ???



Can anybody just give me some suggestions ? I am really new to this data acquisition device. Or can give me any better choice ??



Thanks a lot
