Product Description

The SER1CH-UA-BANA is a 1 channel, 24 bit realtime continuous data acquisition system with a very low power consumption of 600 microamps. With banana jacks, it is well suited to benchtop applications. Other models differing only in their connectors include the SER1CH-UA-DSUB with D-shells for permanent cabling and the narrow SER1CH-UA-1in with right angle headers.

Suitable for use with potentiometers and other ratiometric applications, a buffered copy of the A/D reference is provided for sensor excitation. The systems samples at 1Hz with a full scale input voltage range of 0 to 5 volts. Sitting outside of the PC for improved noise performance, it comes in a sturdy anodized aluminum case, communicating acquired data to the PC using a standard RS232 serial port.

A full featured DVM acquisition and display program is included with the system software, so you can be up and running immediately and continuously saving acquired data to disk. For developing custom applications, low level functions for controlling the system are supplied as static and DLL libraries. Windows and Linux software is provided with source code included.

The bundled "in the box" system comes with all the accessories you need to start acquiring data immediately. These include software, PDF User Manual, 9 VDC power supply, 6' RS232 serial cable, banana jack to alligator analog input cables, and desktop enclosure.
