Designed for high accuracy and resolution, the 22-bit Personal Daq data acquisition systems directly measure multiple channels of voltage, thermocouples, pulse, frequency, and digital I/O*. A single cable to the PC provides high-speed communication and power to the Personal Daq. No additional batteries or power supplies are required in most applications**.

The Personal Daqs are supplied with Personal DaqView, IOtech’s Windows®-based data logging application that allows you to set up your acquisition applications and save acquired data directly to disk. The Personal Daqs also include PostView, a post acquisition application that permitsyou to display acquired data previously saved to a file. Drivers for Visual Basic® and C/C++ are also included. In addition, drivers are available for icon-based software packages, such as DASYLab® and LabVIEW®.

Signal Conditioning and Expansion
Both the Personal Daq/55 and the Personal Daq/56 can be easily expanded with one of two available PDQ snap-on expansion modules, bringing the total capacity up to 60 analog or thermocouple channels, 32 digital I/O lines, and 4 frequency input channels. Furthermore, USB hubs can be used to create multi-unit systems.
