USB front-end convenience has grown up with the DEWE-50-USB2-8, gaining real signal conditioners with HIGH ISOLATION, synchronous digital and CAN bus inputs - and the best data acquisition software in the world: DS-7.
  • Accepts any 8 DAQ / PAD/ HSI series plug-in signal conditioners
  • 8 channels with 200 kS/s/ch sampling
  • 24-bit resolution, automatic anti-aliasing filtering
  • 2 synchronous counters / 24 TTL digital inputs
  • 2 x CAN bus inputs
  • Runs from 6-26 VDC (includes AC adapter)
  • Includes DS-7-PROF software
    Finally, real ISOLATED signal conditioning has come to the USB tethered data acquisition system. Choose any combination of our DAQ / HSI and PAD series plug-in signal conditioners.

    A popular option for this model is the installation of 8 BNC connectors on the rear panel, with the analog input signals, fully conditioned on them (±5V full-scale). See the photo at right.

    Don't worry about the USB cable pulling out of the back of the chassis -- it screws in securely using our unique hardware. Accidental disconnection from our hardware is impossible.
    There are several DEWE-50 models available. The hardware is the same, but the edition of data acquisition software included varies, from the Standard Edition to the Dynamic SIgnal Analysis version.
