1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

The USB-1210 is a 16-bit high-speed USB 2.0-based DAQ mod­ule equipped with 4 analog input channels providing simultaneous sampling at up to 2MS/s per channel. The USB-1210 delivers high accuracy and excellent dynamic performance at maximum sam­pling rates and features flexible trigger function. In addition, onboard 256MS FIFO ensures no data loss during acquisition even with heavy loading on CPU or system.
The USB-1210 is USB bus powered and equipped with removable screw-down terminals for easy device connectivity, and the included multi-functional stand can be used for desktop, rail, or wall mounting.
Suitable for high-speed data acquisition, laboratory and medical research, the USB-1210 provides a reliable measurement solution at an affordable price.
