USB-1616FS
August 26, 2014
Good Product but overpriced in my opinion.

It seems to be expensive for 16 channels when the 1608G has almost the speed and has 8 channels. For 16 channels you pay almost as much as 64 channels on a PCI-6402/16

I would like to learn that if I connect all 16 channels to the board what will be the sampling freq. for each channel.

Per the USB-1616FS spec sheet, the maximum per-channel rate is 9500 Hz, when all 16 channels are sampled.

Answers

The USB-1616FS is one of a handful of MCC models which has AI channels that are single-ended only. i.e. there is no differential stage in front of each A/D converter. One idea is to use 2 channels for each measurement, one for the low side and one for the high side, and subtract the results (the accuracy will be slightly less, since two different A/D converters are involved in the measurement. The alternative, if simultaneous sampling is definitely needed for your application, is to consider the USB-1608HS series.
