TM DataShuttle (R) the smart approach to instrumentationTM High-Accuracy Temperature & Voltage Measurement Modules Features * 8 differential analog inputs, with 6 software programmable ranges * Integrating V-F converter for 12 to 20 bits of resolution and 1 V sensitivity * 100% digital calibration -- no potentiometers * Universal inputs measure thermocouples, RTDs, and isolated inputs * Measurement rates up to 1500 Hz * 8 digital I/O, individually selectable as input or output * 2 optional analog outputs; 12 bit, 1500 Hz * AC line or DC (5 to 9V) operable Highly accurate DataShuttle modules easily attach to a PC's parallel port Temperature & Voltage Measurement DataShuttleTM products provide accurate, low-noise, high-resolution measurements in a compact module that simply attaches to a PC's standard parallel port. The device uses an integrating voltage-to-frequency converter for low-noise measurements with up to 1 V sensitivity, along with programmable resolution from 12 to 20 bits. The DataShuttle's integrating A/D provides a high degree of AC line rejection, making it ideal for accurate, lownoise measurements, including volts, thermocouples, and RTDs, even in noisy industrial environments. The DataShuttle's convenient on-board signal conditioning provides voltage, thermocouple, RTD or isolated inputs. Each channel can have a different softwareselectable range and resolution. The thermocouple version has an aluminum isothermal block, providing the most accurate and stable TC measurements available on any PC-based instrument. Analog Input Four different models of the DataShuttle are available, depending on the desired signal conditioning (see p. 181). Up to 15 DataShuttles can be cascaded to one or more parallel ports, for a total analog input capacity of 120 channels. Icon-based DASYLab(R) software allows users to quickly build applications without programming Optional Analog Output Software Any model of DataShuttle can be ordered with two channels of analog output (must be ordered with product-- not user installable). To get the most out of DataShuttle, use DASYLab(R) software, with its intuitive iconbased user interface. Within a few hours of installation, DASYLab applications can be up and running without any programming (see p. 194). The DataShuttle is also supplied with QuickLogTM* software for effortless setup and signal verification, plus drivers for Windows(R) 95/98/2000/NT** and LabVIEW(R). Printer Support Each DataShuttle has a printer output port, permitting a parallel printer to be attached, or permitting up to 14 additional DataShuttles to be cascaded (total cable length not to exceed 50 ft.). * Windows(R) 3.1/95/98 only ** Contact factory for Windows(R) 2000 driver availability Contact factory for availability Q U I C K tel: 440-439-4091 fax: 440-439-4093 180 F I N D sales@iotech.com www.iotech.com TM DataShuttle Signal Conditioning (R) the smart approach to instrumentationTM General Purpose Model DS-16-8-GP Sockets for optional isolated high-voltage switching and sensing modules To printer or other DataShuttle Screw terminals for digital I/O signal connection To PC's parallel port DC power input The General Purpose DataShuttle accepts eight differential voltage inputs, offering six input ranges, from 25 mV to +10V full scale. Signal connections are made via convenient screw terminal connections. A built-in cold-junction sensor allows thermocouples to be attached to any channel, although for the most accurate TC measurements, the Thermocouple model described below is recommended. RTD/resistance measurements are also possible by simply installing appropriate range-determining resistors in specified locations on the board (or purchase the pre-configured RTD panel described on the next page). The General Purpose model includes eight TTL-level digital I/O, and built-in sockets for optional isolated high-voltage switching and sensing modules.
