INSTRUNET'S UNIQUE ATTRIBUTES
PRODUCTS > RELATED INFORMATION>

The following is a list of attributes that tend to be unique in instruNet, in comparison with many of the data acquisition products on the market.

• Benchtop signal acquisition into a computer via BNC connectors.
• Includes free strip chart recorder software that handles any number of channels, can spool to disk, and can easily save a text file to Excel.
• Optional instruNet World PLUS (iW+) software for Windows (not Mac) is a Very reasonably priced yet powerful and easy to use data acquisition software program that enables one to digitize, plot, control, analyze, and save to disk A/D, D/A, and digital I/O data from instruNet hardware. Additionally, it enables one to define their own instrument front panel with buttons, popup menus, edit fields, dynamic text, text editor regions, and waveform graphs.

• Can digitize from multiple boxes, without any time jitter between channels, due to the synchronous instruNet network.
• Programmable digital filters on all channels (BP, BS, LP, HP).
• Different sample rates on each channel.
• Programmable integration time on each channel, ranging from 0 to 1sec.
• Interfaces with C, Visual Basic, DASYLab, LabView and HP VEE.
• $100 per differential channel, direct-to-sensor data acquisition.
• Boxes provide Universal Screw Terminals that directly attach to thermistor, thermocouple, RTD, strain gage, load cell, accelerometer, potentiometer, voltage source, current source and resistance source.
• Boxes can daisy-chain and reside 1 to 1000 feet from the computer.
• The $890 instruNet boxes provide 16se/8di analog inputs, 8 analog outputs and 8 digital I/O. The boxes contain an a/d and signal conditioning amplifiers; and a low cost $290 DSP board that manages digitizing via a synchronous network. The result is a feature rich system at a relatively low cost (we patented this topology).
