The USB-7202 is part of the USB-7000 series of data acquisition products, designed specifically for Message-based DAQ (MBD), Measurement Computing's new O/S-independent protocol that allows DAQ devices to be programmed with simple text-based messages.
MBD is a well-defined protocol that permits the programming of DAQ devices using simple text-based messages. The MBD protocol greatly simplifies driver and application development, because all DAQ operations are programmed through a common command interface, which is composed of a consistent, extensible firmware interface and an open-source, cross-platform API.
The USB-7202 has eight single-ended 16-bit analog inputs and provides one A/D converter per channel, allowing simultaneous sampling over all 8 inputs.
The USB-7202 offers continuous single-channel sample rates up to 50 kS/s, and multiple-channel continuous sampling rates up to 100 kS/s total. A burst mode is also provided which allows four channels to be sampled at 50 kS/s each, total aggregate up to 200 kS/s, for up to 32,768 total samples. Input ranges of ±10V, ±5V, ±2V and ±1V are software selectable, and each channel may be set at any of the four ranges, independent of other channels. It also includes a 32-bit event counter.
Included accessories: USB cable and a CD containing the MC7000 DAQ Software API, USB-7000 Series Firmware Architecture, a Windows® installer file (msi), and a Zip file containing installation files for Linux operating systems

Whitepaper
"With reliability a key concern, we chose a name we could trust and the USB unit was a low-cost item that has proved very effective." Gordon Roxburgh, Volunteer Engineer, Brooklands Museum
"USB output has really made life easier on insutrumentation projects because you can simply swap from one laptop to another with minimal fuss. On this sort of operation that gives us extra confidence." Stephen Kemp, Manager, GBG Structural Services
