Data Translation Inc. announced the DT8837 high performance Ethernet (LXI) data acquisition instrument module for sound and vibration measurement applications. The DT8837 allows the user to sample up to four 24-bit IEPE accelerometer input channels independently at up to 52.7kHz per channel or 210kHz total throughput. Additionally, the DT8837 offers a 24-bit stimulus output, and a 31-bit synchronized tachometer channel for data streams that are matched in time for field or laboratory use. The DT8837 data acquisition instrument module not only offers the user high sampling throughput but previously unachievable accuracy with on-board proprietary ISO-Channel(TM) front end design. The TCP/IP Ethernet operation mode of the DT8837 allows measurements to be monitored locally or at other remote locations. Up to 16 instrument modules may be stacked for parallel operation of 64 separate IEPE accelerometer or voltage inputs. The DT8837 ships with free software allowing users to configure the DT8837 instrument module for sample rate, trigger source, IEPE settings; acquire and display data for the analog input channels, and log data to standard file formats for later analysis or viewing; perform FFTs and other vibration data analysis. The DT8837 is priced at $3995 and ships 6-8 weeks ARO.

Data Translation Inc. announced the DT9816-S multifunction, high throughput, simultaneous USB data acquisition module. The DT9816-S allows the user to sample six analog input channels independently at up to 800 kHz per channel. At the low unit price of $595, the data acquisition customer can correlate and make multiple high throughput measurements easily and quickly at a very reasonable investment. The DT9816-S is the latest addition to the ECONseries of USB data acquisition modules, providing a flexible yet economical series of multifunction data acquisition products. In addition to an extremely high throughput rate of up to 800 kHz per input channel, the DT9816-S offers a full set of features including 8 digital input lines, 8 digital output lines, and a 16-bit counter/timer.

Data Translation Inc. announced the newest addition to its line of high performance, multifunction USB data acquisition boards for OEMs. The DT9818-32-OEM now offers the customer with embedded applications the flexibility of up to 32 input channels. The DT9818-32-OEM USB data acquisition board provides the user with 32 single ended or 16 differential analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, 16 digital I/O lines, 2 counter timers, and allows simultaneous operation of all subsystems at throughputs up to 150 kHz. Key product features include: Ultimate flexibility with up to 32 single ended or 16 differential inputs; 500 volt galvanic isolation prevents ground loops, maximizes analog signal integrity, and protects your computer; Smooth waveform generation with 2 deglitched analog outputs; Simultaneous subsystem operation at throughputs up to 150 kHz; True 16-bit resolution on analog input and output subsystems; Runs on USB power, no external power supply required; Two 32-bit synchronous counter timers; and Flexible and independent clocking and triggering.
