DI-500 Series data acquisition instruments offer a full range of solutions for demanding industrial measurements. Each instrument in the family is fully integrated to provide high-level, signal conditioned, or a combination of both measurement types—without multiple boxes. DI-500 Series instruments conveniently attach to the printer port of any desktop or portable PC. Their built-in ADC allows sample rates of once per second to 250,000 samples per second in either triggered or continuous data acquisition modes. Best of all, plug-in DI-5B Series signal conditioning modules allow virtually any industrial measurement to be made with fail-safe, 600-volt input-to-output isolation. Never has it been easier to bring an instrument to a measurement site, or safer to make demanding industrial measurements with more flexibility than with these products.

Portable Configurations

Do you make measurements on the run? Our portable case is constructed of tough, nonconductive plastic. Its carrying handle and latching lid allow you to move the instrument to any measurement site with ease. Built-in 5-way binding posts (banana connector jacks) and screw terminals simplify signal connections in the field.

Connect to Any PC

DI-500 Series instruments connect to the standard, bi-directional, or enhanced parallel port (EPP) of desktop, laptop, or notebook PC's.

Signal Conditioned Inputs

Select from 16 to as many as 32 signal conditioned input channels—all within a single enclosure. DI-5B Series signal conditioning modules connect you to the entire spectrum of industrial measurements: VDC, VAC, Thermocouple, RTD, Frequency, Current, Potentiometer, and Strain. Built-in 600V input-to-output isolation lets you make any measurement you need under any circumstances.

AC- or DC-Powered

All DI-500 Series instruments are supplied with an adapter to operate from any convenient AC outlet. Or power the instruments from any 9 to 36V DC source.

Intelligent Oversampling per Channel

Oversampling and signal averaging, minimum value, or maximum value burst reporting options provide excellent data reduction analysis techniques for many applications.

FREE WinDaq Software

We provide WinDaq/Lite free with every DI-500/510 purchased without WinDaq/Pro or WinDaq/Pro+ software. WinDaq/Lite is a 16 channel version of WinDaq/Pro that works at the full sample rate of the DI-500-510, but is restricted to a maximum throughput of 240 Hz when recording to disk.

WinDaq Waveform Browser, our playback and analysis software for Windows, is distributed free with WinDaq/Lite and is included free with every WinDaq/Pro or WinDaq/Pro+ purchase. It is also available for download free-of-charge from this web site.
