KUSB-3100 USB-Based Data Acquisition Modules Series Now, adding data acquisition capabilities to your PC is as easy as plugging in a mouse or keyboard. Within minutes of connecting one of our compact data acquisition modules to your computer and your sensor directly to the module, youre ready to make measurements of voltage, temperature, pressurewhatever you need. And you have done this without opening your PC, without complicated programming, and without spending time configuring the m odule, power requirements, or connection schemes. The Keithley KUSB-3100 Series brings true plug-and-play data acquisition to computers that contain Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 and 1.1 ports. No more opening up your computer c hassis to install boardsjust plug in the module, install the included software, and you are ready to make measurements. Its easy and efficient. USB 2.0 and USB 1.1, true plug- Why USB an d - p l a y c o mp a t i b il i t y Today, virtually all desktop and laptop PCs provide USB ports. In addition, USB ports can easily be added to existing PCI-bus machines. Equally important, these USB ports have full software support F i v e d i f f e r e n t U S B - b a s e d under the most popular computer operating systems, including Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, compact measurement systems Vista, and 7. 12- a n d 16 - b i t r e s o l u t i o n Easy to Install, Easy to Share H i g h a n d l o w p r o g r a m m a b l e USB devices are true plug-and-play. There is no setting of address lines, interrupts, or c onfiguration gains jumpers. The host PC automatically identifies a KUSB-3100 Series module when it is plugged in and Input/output speeds up to searches for the software necessary to operate it. The first time a module is used, the user is prompted 5 0 0 k S /s to install the drivers and application, a process that takes just a few minutes. Ease of installation means the KUSB-3100 Series modules can be shared between both laptop and desktop computers. Up to 96 digital lines for monitoring or control Hot-Swappable The KUSB-3100 Series USB modules are hot-swappable, designed to be installed and removed while 5 0 0 V i s o l a t i o n b a r r i e r p r o t e c t s the computer is running. All you need to do is plug the module into a USB port when you need to the computer and module from use the module, and remove it when you are done. voltage spikes, ESD, and surges Software Runs under Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and 7 platforms Every KUSB module includes the following software tools: Quick DataAcq: A menu-driven, ready-to-run application that lets you verify the operation of your KUSB module. You can exercise the major features of your module as well as plot data on the screen and save data to disk. qu ick DAQ: A high performance .NET based data collection and analysis software application that allows you to acquire analog data, plot it during acquisition, analyze it, and save it to disk. O p e n L aye r s: A DataAcq Software Development Kit (SDK), allowing programmers to develop application programs for the KUSB-3100 Series using ANSI C, Visual C++ 6.0, and Visual Basic 6.0 in Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and 7. Also included is DTx-EZ, a visual programming tool for Visual Basic and Visual C++. O p e n L aye r s for . N ET: A set of classes, methods, properties, and events that provide a program- ming interface for the KUSB-3100 Series in .NET development environments including Visual Basic.NET, Visual C , Visual C++.NET with managed extensions, and Visual J .NET. L abV I EW VIs: Allow LabVIEW programmers to access the capabilities of the KUSB-3100 Series modules in LabVIEW 8.0 and higher.

This external location provides per- formance benefits for noise-sensitive devices like data acquisition systems. They can be placed away KUSB-3100 from the noisy environment of the PC and power supplies and can be positioned closer to the Economical signals you need to measure. Multifunction Data Acquisition USB Module Because USB modules reside outside the computer, they can be susceptible to ground spikes, ESD, surges, and other damaging conditions. These spikes can cause system failure and may even cause KUSB-3102 permanent damage to your computer. The KUSB-3100 Series modules feature a 500V isolation barrier Low Gain Multifunction (except the KUSB-3100), which protects your computer and ensures a reliable stream of data.
