The iDSC 1816 board combines 16-bit resolution on eight simultaneous channels of data acquisition with brick-wall anti-alias filters on each channel. The iDSC 1816 samples analog inputs at a throughput of 1.2M samples per second, with the sampling rate on each channel ranging from 8 samples per second to 153.6k samples per second. The data stream optionally includes an additional 300k samples per second: information from one or two external timing channels. Software can parse the data stream to correlate the analog data with events on one or both of the timing channels, to a resolution of 51 nanoseconds.
The iDSC 1816 comes with DSCview included, and drivers for DASYLab, Agilent/HP VEE, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and MATLAB. The iDSC 1816 also includes programming support for Visual Basic, Visual C++, and other Windows programming environments through the DSCIO.DLL, a standard Windows DLL interface. It supports development environments like Delphi and C++Builder through a native DSC Component. It also supports Linux development environments like Kylix and GC++. With the DSCview software on your PC, you can customize the filter characteristics for each channel, and download them to the iDSC board. Download DSCview and check it out.
If you need signal conditioning for your iDSC 1816 system, Microstar Laboratories has the solution. Microstar Laboratories has developed an 8-channel sensor signal-conditioning system, the SCS, that complements the 8-channel iDSC 1816 board to provide a continuous path in a single package: starting with raw measurements at the sensor and ending with conditioned anti-aliased data logged to disk on a PC.
