MCC 172 IEPE Measurement DAQ HAT for Raspberry Pi Features Two IEPE inputs Two 24-bit, 51.2 kS/s A/D converters (one per channel) AC coupled at 5 V 10-32 and screw terminal connections for OEM support Synchronous ADC conversions between multiple boards Onboard sample buffers allow The MCC 172 is a 24-bit DAQ HAT for making sound and vibration measurements from high-speed acquisition IEPE sensors. The MCC 172 is shown connected to a Raspberry Pi (not included). External digital trigger input Stack up to eight MCC HATs Overview onto a single Raspberry Pi The MCC 172 is a voltage HAT (Hardware Attached on Top) board designed for use with Raspberry Pi, the most popular single-board computer on the market today.
