The
4 channels 12-bits single-ended Analog to Digital
Converter (ADC) via EID's universal serial bus (EUSB)
is an educational data acquisition electronics kit.
It allows you to connect your personal computer (PC) universal
serial port (USB) to the kit on one side and up to four
single-ended dc voltages source (0-4VDC each) on the
other sided. Together with the our free (AS-IS) demo
software you will be able to read and log to file DC
voltages. The voltages will display on the screen in
millivolts or volts. Additionally you will be able to
set the log interval and log the information to file.
Our sophisticated software logging Dynamic Data Exchange
(DDE) mechanism allows you to open the logged file with
another program such as spreadsheet (MS-Excel etc.), and
at the same time. Therefore, you will be able to easily
share the file, and view it from anywhere on the web,
print repot or graph from your familiar existing
software packages.
The
12 bits Analog to digital converter (ADC) integrated circuit
(IC) component the MAX1236 (Maxim Inc, www.maxim-ic.com
), is mounted in a SMT method on the
bottom side. (SMT = Surface Mounted Technology).
This
ADC component has a built-in reference voltage and
internal clock. The device controlled via 2 wires,
Clock and Data (I2C protocol).
The kit is based on Cypress
integrated circuit (IC), the CY7C63001.
Note:
The CY7C63001 IC is
Universal Serial Bus (USB) RISC type Micro-controller.
It conforms to USB 1.5 Mbps specification, version 1.1.

This
unique kit design provides you with the ability to wire your wires
easily via front mounted terminal blocks (5). You will be able to
measure 1 single-ended voltages directly
from the PC.
