Introduction & Installation of the DataShuttle 1-3
Features and Configurations
Analog Input Channels
DataShuttle-16 can achieve 16 bit resolution (.0015% of signal).
Resolution Selections
The DataShuttle-16 has eight differential analog input channels.
The resolution of the DataShuttle is selectable in software. With the
DataShuttle-16, it extends from 10 through 16 bits.
(These products also feature advanced “dynamic resolution.”
See page 1 – 2 for further explanation.)
Data Acquisition Speed
The data acquisition rate for the DataShuttle reaches as high as 6 kHz at 9 bits,
in burst mode.
Ranges
DataShuttle has six voltage ranges, all selectable individually for each analog
input channel.
Noise Rejection
The DataShuttle features a high noise rejection integrating converter
(in “low noise mode” it helps reject 50/60 Hz AC power line interference).
Sensors
The DataShuttle supports accurate cold junction compensation and
linearization for thermocouple devices, and signal conditioning for resistance
temperature devices (RTDs).
Accuracy
Calibration constants are stored in non-volatile memory on each DataShuttle.
Input Protection
Built-in circuitry assures protection of analog input channels for ±50 Volts
continuous.
Digital I/O
All DataShuttles feature eight digital input/output channels that the user can
configure individually to be input or output.
Counter/Timer
Every DataShuttle includes a counter/timer for precise timing (for counting
pulses or other events) which you can also use as a pulse output.
Counter/Timer controls analog pacing and is therefore, unavailable for use
with DASYLab software.
Isolation
The digital I/O lines on all models may be isolated with optional ODC
(opto 22) family modules.
The 5B models also accept optional –5B family isolation modules for analog
inputs and/or analog outputs.
Analog Output
Channels
All DataShuttle-AO models feature two optional 12-bit analog output channels
with one current (4-20mA) and six voltage ranges, software selectable
