Introducing the USB-1616FS
The USB-1616FS is a USB 2.0 full-speed device supported under popular Microsoft ® Windows ® operating
systems.
The USB-1616FS provides true simultaneous sampling of up to sixteen 16-bit single-ended analog inputs.
Simultaneous input sampling is accomplished through the use of one A/D converter per channel. The module
features sampling rates of up to 50 kS/s per channel, and up to 9500 S/s per channel throughput for all channels.
You can configure the analog input range of each channel independently via software. An onboard temperature
sensor lets you monitor your environment temperature.
Eight digital IO lines are independently selectable as input or output. A 32-bit counter can count TTL pulses. A
SYNC (synchronization) control line lets you synchronize two USB-1616FS modules to acquire data
synchronously from 32 analog inputs.
The USB-1616FS is powered by an external +9 V unregulated power supply that is shipped with the board.
Power and USB connectors let you power and control multiple MCC USB Series products from one external
power source and one USB port in a daisy chain fashion.
The USB-1616FS is enclosed in a rugged housing that you can mount on a DIN rail or on a bench (see
Figure 1).
