Agilent Technologies has introduced new products to its USB-based data acquisition (DAQ) family of standalone, modular solutions, enabling users to create more flexible, scalable systems.

The DAQ family's standalone, modular capability accompanies a wide range of multifunction DAQ and digital input-output devices, providing an expansion of up to 384 channels when used with the U2781A modular chassis.

With the capability to hold different function modules, the chassis helps users achieve synchronisation across devices and applications.

Whatever the configuration, each DAQ device offers quick, easy setup with USB and its bundled software, allowing users to begin performing measurements in no time. With the included IVI-driver, users can also choose to automate measurement and control with Agilent VEE or any other popular application development environments.

The USB DAQ family includes:

• U2500A Series simultaneous-sampling multifunction DAQ devices;
• U2300A Series multifunction DAQ devices;
• U2100A and U2600A Series isolated digital input-output devices;
• U2781A six-slot modular instrument chassis;
• U2802A thermocouple input device.

The bundled Modular Instruments Measurement Manager software allows out-of-box configuration, acquisition and generation of simple function or arbitrary waveforms. In addition to Agilent VEE, the DAQ devices are compatible with LabVIEW and Microsoft Visual Studio.
