Description
DI-4718BX USB & Ethernet Data Logger and Data Acquisition System is a dual-core system based on DI-4718B for applications that require signal conditioning. It packs two popular DI-4718s inside the enclosure for easy stackable mounting configuration with DI-4730. Install up to sixteen DI-8B isolated signal conditioning modules on the printed circuit board using the removable front panel. Each DI-8B module protects, filters, amplifies, and isolates an input signal, providing an advanced signal conditioning solution for nearly any industrial measurement.
DI-4718BX features 12- to 16-bit analog-to-digital resolution as a function of sample rate. Lower sampling rates deliver higher resolution readings. The maximum analog sampling throughput rate of the DI-4718BX analog subsystem is 160 kHz per core, providing 12 bits of resolution. Resolution varies with respect to sample rate. Add up to 128 analog channels with ChannelStretch™ channel expansion, which is supported in all USB and Ethernet versions. Synchronize any USB DI-4718Bs, DI-4108s, DI-4208s, and/or DI-4730s to one PC. Acquire from as many as 128 analog and 112 digital channels at combined total throughput rates over 480 kHz.
The included WinDaq data acquisition software makes configuring the DI-4718BX for PC-connected operation quick and intuitive. Use WinDaq to set up channels and create a reference file.
