Designed for both experimental and industrial use, it is rated for use over an industrial temperature range, has built-in mounting fixtures and a selection of I/O are available at screw terminals
The LabJack UE9, available from Audon Electronics, is described as a power-house of analogue and digital I/O.
Whats more, it can connect to both USB and ethernet s The UE9 boast 14 analogue inputs, twp analogue outputs and 23 digital I/O.
The UE9 can connect to a host PC via a USB 1.1 or 2.0 interface or it can connect to a Lan via its ethernet 10base interface.
Each analogue input can be configured individually as unipolar 0-5 volts or bipolar +/-5 volts.
An internal PGA provides gains of 1, 2, 4, or 8 (unipolar ranges only at this time).
Analogue input resolution is user adjustable; 12-bits at max speed of 50kHz increasing up to 16-bits at slower speeds.
It is possible to connect thermocouples directly to the UE9, if great accuracy is not required: a resolution of +/-1 C is achievable.
The UE9 has an internal temperature sensor, which can be used for cold junction compensation.
There are two 12-bit analogue outputs offering a 0-4.096V range.
The LabJack UE9 has 23 digital I/O channels which can be individually configured as input, output-high, or output-low.
Eight of these lines are called flexible digital I/O (FIO) and can be software configured as up to six timers and two counters.
The timers are very flexible, providing options such as pulse width modulation output for motor control, pulse timing, and quadrature input for motor applications.
Up to two FIO can be configured as 32-bit counters.
The UE9 is supplied with a free licensed copy of the DAQFactory Express software.
This software provides allows you to create your own operator screens using up to ten built-in components such as chart displays, bar charts, etc, allows datalogging and even the creation of simple automated control scripts.
A collection of DAQFactory applications are also provided to get you started, showing how to acquire slow and high speed data, set the digital I/O and also how to set up a PWM output channel.
DAQFactory Express can be upgraded to higher versions of DAQFactory if users require addition functionality such as alarms and PID control.
Also provided are LabView VI's and sample applications in Visual Basic and C.
The UE9 has been designed for both experimental and industrial use.
It is rated for use over an industrial temperature range and has built-in mounting fixtures.
A selection of I/O are available at screw terminals and all I/O are routed to side mounted D-type connectors; A screw terminal board is available.
