USB Counter/Timer DAQ Devices offer high-speed operation.

Press Release Summary:




Providing high-speed pulse counting with 48 MHz max input frequency, 4-channel USB-CTR04 and 8-channel USB-CTR08 offer programmable resolution up to 64 bits with 8 MBps aggregate scan rate. High-level input modes include totalize, period measurement, pulse-width measurement, and timing measurement. Four independent PWM timer outputs and 8 DIO are also incuded, and timer output channels can operate continuously or for specified pulse count; duty cycle and period can be changed on-the-fly.



Original Press Release:



New USB Counter / Timer DAQ Devices from Measurement Computing



4 or 8 channels with our most advanced Counter / Timer functionality



NORTON, Mass. – Measurement Computing Corporation, the value leader in data acquisition, today announced the release of two high-speed USB Counter / Timer DAQ devices available with four or eight counter I/O.



The USB-CTR Series feature high-speed pulse counting with a 48 MHz maximum input frequency. Resolution is programmable up to 64-bits, with an aggregate scan rate of 8 MB/sec.



These new devices offer some of the most advanced counter / timer functionality available in USB DAQ today. Supported high-level input modes include totalize, period measurement, pulse-width measurement, and timing measurement. Four independent PWM timer outputs and 8 digital I/O are also provided. Timer output channels can operate continuously or for a specified pulse count, with duty cycle and period changeable on-the-fly. Counter and digital channels can also be scanned synchronously. Flexible edge, level, direction, and debounce settings allow the counters to better adapt to user signals.



USB-CTR Series features:



--  4 or 8 counter I/O

--  48 MHz maximum input frequency

--  Programmable resolution up to 64-bits per counter

--  Aggregate scan rate of 8 MB/s

--  Supports the following counter input modes:

--  Totalize

--  Period measurements

--  Pulse-width measurements

--  Timing measurements

--  Debounce filter circuitry

--  Four PWM timers

--  Eight digital I/O

--  Synchronous high-speed reads of digital and counter inputs



Software options include comprehensive support for Visual Studio® and Visual Studio® .NET, DASYLab®, and NI LabVIEW™.



The four channel USB-CTR04 is priced at $359, and the eight channel USB-CTR08 is priced at only $429.
