Introduction

USB data acquisition products are becoming very popular in the ﬁeld. Many customers

in Asia have utilized our plug-in data acquisition, motion control and communication

cards to develop machines, and then distribute them to China, Thailand, Vietnam … and

beyond. So far the machine builders needed to bring many tools and spare parts to the

end-customer for after service work.

Now we offer a better solution, engineers can just use a notebook and a USB data

acquisition module to do the job. Because all the speciﬁcations are the same, engineers

can directly evaluate the program and troubleshoot on their notebooks.

Besides, the embedded controller is well proved by several industrial applications, and

now can provide faster fanless low-power CPU with USB 2.0 interface. The idea is coming

to separate computing platform and data acquisition interface into two parts.

The technology of computing platform is always changing. People can enjoy high-stability

and high-performance computing platform by leverage those latest embedded technology,

also to save the maintenance cost and system upgrade effort.

On the other hand, the data acquisition and control interface technology is not changing

frequently. Most of the time those interfaces come together with cable and terminal board,

engineers intend to keep the same conﬁguration to provide the stable and reliable data

acquisition and control system. That means its life cycle is longer than computing platform,

and engineers can reduce the effort by maintain two parts separately.

The transmission rate of USB 2.0 is 480 Mb/s, which can provide the same performance

as general purpose PCI-bus data acquisition and control cards. With Advantech’s

innovative designed on the screw-type USB connection cable, the Advantech USB-based

data acquisition and control modules are the next generation solution for industrial test

and measurement applications.

Portable, Easy to Install & Use

The Key Beneﬁts of USB DAQ Modules Are:

 Plug & Play

Advantech USB data acquisition series features the plug & play function that users

can install/setup the devices and ready to go within seconds.

 Single Cable Connection with PC

The USB series connects to the user’s host system via a shielded USB cable and are

powered through this cable, which saves users from the annoying wiring and extra

accessory costs.

 Best Companion for Notebook

The bus-powered design and compact size make Advantech USB data acquisition

series the best mate for the notebook.

 480 Mb/s Transmission Rates

High speed data transmission realizes the high-performance and high-accuracy on

the USB data acquisition.

Design Concepts

 Efﬁcient

Advantech USB data acquisition series needs no external power source and can get

rid of the power cord and adapters, give users the most convenience on the ﬁeld

side applications.

 Portable

The palm-sized and light-weight USB data acquisition series is suitable for hand

carry when you travel to exhibitions or business shows.

 Speedy

480Mbps data transmission rate is 20,000 times faster than traditional RS-485

based I/O, making the USB series possible to achieve heavy-loaded tasks.

 Integrated

All the analog input, analog output, digital input, and digital output functions are

integrated into the USB series. Users can get multiple functions by getting only

module on hand.

 Convenient

The built-in wiring terminals facilitate the operations without using any wiring

cables or terminal boards.

USB Data Acquisition (DAQ)

Series Overview

Extending Beneﬁts to PCI Card Users

Our concept is to keep the same speciﬁcation as our existed PCI data acquisition cards.

 The same speciﬁcations and drivers as PCI cards

 For R&D, easy to develop and diagnose the system

-The same H/W and S/W between development and run-time

-Save time and effort on simulation and troubleshooting
