PicoLog 1216 Kit, 16 Channel, 12 Bits USB Data Logger with Terminal Board

PicoLog 1216 Kit, 16 Channel, 12 Bits USB Data Logger with Terminal Board

• 16 input channels per data logger

• 4 output channels per data logger
• 1 PWM Output (pulse width modulation)
• Use up to 4 data loggers at the same time
• Up to 1 MS/s sample rate
• USB connected and powered
• Terminal board (PP545), data acquisition software and SDK included

Designed to meet the needs of a wide range of general-purpose voltage, sensor and transducer logging applications, the PicoLog 1000 Multi-Channel DAQ Series feature independent software-configurable scaling and control outputs, an external terminal board for custom front-end circuitry and a choice of 10 or 12-bit input resolution.

A distinguished pedigree
The PicoLog 1000 Series is the result of a distinguished lineage that goes back to the release of our first multi-channel data logger - the ADC-11 - in 1993. The original ADC-11, and its successor the USB ADC-11, proved to be the perfect choice for users wanting a low-cost way to measure and record multiple signals. The PicoLog 1000 Series builds on this success to give you the same low-cost data acquisition but with greater power and performance. (Because the ADC-11 was so popular we?ve also added a USB ADC-11 compatibility mode which allows you to use your PicoLog 1000 logger as a direct replacement to the USB ADC-11.)

An expandable multi-channel data acquisition system
The budget model PicoLog 1012 has 12 input channels. The powerful PicoLog 1216 has 16. Need more channels? No problem. Using PicoLog you can connect up to 4 Pico data loggers to one PC - giving you a potential 64 channel PicoLog 1000 Series data acquisition system, or the ability to use your PicoLog 1000 logger with other devices such as the USB TC-08 thermocouple data logger.

Fast and accurate
With 10 or 12-bit resolution and multiple sampling modes, a PicoLog 1000 Series logger will meet your data logging needs. The PicoLog 1000 Series has 3 sampling modes: continuous streaming allows channel voltage readings to be logged continuously at 1 kS/s on any number of channels, while real-time continuous sampling provides averaged, time-accurate readings with automatic measurements available in PicoLog. Block mode captures at the full 1 MS/s sample rate of the logger for the duration of the 8k sample buffer

Control alarms and other devices
The PicoScope 1216  data loggers include 4 digital outputs - including one with pulse-width modulation control. These outputs can be used to control alarms or other devices, additionally these can also be used to power sensors such as thermistors (outputs can be controlled using the programming API and cannot be controlled using PicoLog).

It?s all you need
Your PicoLog 1000 Series multi-channel data acquisition (DAQ) device includes all you need to start measuring and recording. A full suite of software is included in the price and consists of PicoLog data logging package, the PicoScope oscilloscope package and an SDK for using the PicoLog 1000 within your own software, or third party software such as LabVIEW.

The supplied terminal board with its screw clamps enables the fast connection or disconnection of different sensors and input signals. There is also the possibility to solder resistors on the PCB as voltage dividers for higher input voltages.

Easy to use. Low cost. The PicoLog 1000 Series is what you need
With great performance and versatility, up to 16 inputs and 4 outputs per unit, a low per-channel cost and easy to use to features, the PicoLog 1000 Series is the multi-channel data acquisition device that you need.
