The USB-7204 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-7204 has eight single-ended or four differential 12-bit analog inputs, two 12-bit analog outputs and one 32-bit counter. In differential mode, there are eight software selectable input ranges between ±20 V and ±1 V, and in single-ended, the range is ±10 V. Sampling rates up to 50 kS/s.
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
