Data Translation Announces Highly Accurate and Stable USB Data Acquisition Module: 20X Better Than Any Other Solution

MARLBORO, MA  February 3, 2010 – Data Translation today announced the DT9824 ultra-high resolution USB data acquisition module for portable test and measurement. The highly accurate front-end design of the USB-powered DT9824 allows users to simultaneously sample up to four fully isolated 24-bit inputs, guaranteeing complete signal measurement protection from all environmental or system noise.

"The high stability design of the DT9824 with a temperature coefficient of ±0.05µV/º C, and a CMRR (common-mode rejection ratio) of greater than 150dB, delivers results that are twenty times better than any other data acquisition solution," according to Fred Molinari, President and Founder. "Advanced technology makes the DT9824 an ideal choice for chromatography, seismic, weigh scale, and medical uses, along with other measurement applications where accuracy and stability is paramount. The DT9824 instrument module delivers measurement results previously unachievable without on-board proprietary ISO-Channel™ protection. Each analog input on the DT9824 is galvanically isolated from any other input, and has its own return path, further enhancing noise immunity."

ISO-Channel Design
ISO-Channel™ technology utilizes galvanic isolation methods to guarantee 1000V isolation between any input channel to any other input channel and ±500V to earth ground. ISO-Channel vastly increases reliability by implementing a separate isolated return path for each 24-bit A/D converter used by the four input channels, all operating in parallel. The benefit to the user is total isolation of all input/outputs from each other and from digital ground.

Key Features of the DT9824:

  • 4 Simultaneous analog inputs at throughput rates up to 4800Hz.
  • High resolution 24-bit analog input subsystem offers ultimate signal accuracy.
  • Complete ISO-Channel signal integrity with 1000V galvanic isolation channel to channel protects signal integrity
  • Optional signal sampling ranges of ±10V with programmable gains of 1, 8, 16, and 32 offers even greater resolution.
  • Software and external trigger maintains timely and efficient sampling.
  • Single-value and continuous conversion modes provide input flexibility.
  • Totally self-powered through USB
  • 16 (8 in, 8 out) opto-isolated digital lines for correlating measurements.
  • Rugged enclosure for noise immunity, 1U, ½ rack small profile.
  • Includes comprehensive software CD for making measurements quickly and easily
Pricing and Availability
The DT9824 is priced at $1695 and ships 6-8 weeks ARO.
