Introducing the RedLab 1608FS
This user's guide contains all of the information you need to connect the RedLab 1608FS to your computer and
to the signals you want to measure. The RedLab 1608FS is part of the Meilhaus Electronic brand of USB-based
data acquisition products.
The RedLab 1608FS is a USB 2.0 full-speed device supported under popular Microsoft
®
Windows
®
operating
systems. It is designed for USB 1.1 ports, and was tested for full compatibility with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0
ports.
The RedLab 1608FS offers true simultaneous sampling of up to eight channels of 16-bit single-ended analog
input. This is accomplished through the use of one A/D converter per channel. The range of each channel is
independently configurable via software. Eight digital IO lines are independently selectable as input or output.
A 32-bit counter is capable of counting TTL pulses. The RedLab 1608FS is powered by the +5 volt USB supply
from your computer. No external power is required.
A SYNC (synchronization) control line allows you to synchronize two RedLab 1608FS modules together to
acquire data synchronously from 16 analog inputs.
The RedLab 1608FS is shown in Figure 1. I/O connections are made to the screw terminals located along each
side of the RedLab 1608FS.
