The OMB-DAQ-54, OMB-DAQ-55 and OMB-DAQ-56 Personal Daqs are full-featured process & thermocouple data acquisition products with a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. Designed for high accuracy and resolution, the 22-bit OMB-DAQ-54/55/56 data acquisition systems directly measure multiple channels of voltage, thermocouple, pulse, frequency, and digital I/O (the OMB-DAQ-54 does not have digital, frequency I/O). A single cable to the PC provides high-speed communication and power to the OMB-DAQ-54/55/56. No additional batteries or power supplies are required, except when using bus-powered hubs.

The OMB-DAQ-54/55/56 modules are the first products in a new family of low-cost, USB-based products from OMEGA. Because of the strict power limitations of the USB, the modules incorporate special powermanagement circuitry to ensure adherence to USB specifications.

The OMB-DAQ-54/55/56 avoid many of the limitations of PC-Card (PCMCIA) data acquisition devices and offer advantages over many PC plug-in data acquisition boards as well.

The OMB-DAQ-54 data acquisition system offers 10 single-ended or 5 differential analogue (up to ±20 V full scale) or thermocouple input channels with 16 programmable ranges and 500 V optical isolation.

The OMB-DAQ-55 offers 10 single-ended or 5 differential analogue (up to ±20 V full scale) or thermocouple input channels,16 programmable ranges, 500 V optical isolation, 8 digital I/O lines, and 2 frequency/ pulse/ duty-cycle channels.

The OMB-DAQ-56 offers twice the I/O capacity as the OMB-DAQ-55 in the same size package.

To simplify attachment of signals and transducers, the OMB-DAQ-54/55/56 modules feature convenient, removable screw-terminal input connections.

SOFTWARE
Personal DaqViewTM a graphical data acquisition software, an easy-to-use yet powerful application is provided with the OMB-DAQ-54, OMB-DAQ-55 and OMB-DAQ-56 at no additional charge. The software allows users to configure a test, and display or record data within minutes, without programming.

Personal DaqView lets the user
Select one of any OMB-DAQ devices connected to the system
Set up, configure and display analogue, frequency, counter and digital I/O channels in real time
Easily and quickly configure acquisition parameters such as trigger events, stop events and acquisition scan rates
View real-time analogue, frequency, and digital I/O using extensive charting and metering displays
Acquire analogue, frequency, and digital I/O channels to disk in real time
AView acquisition status at a glance, including triggered time/date, acquisition progress, as well as acquisition destination file

Real-Time Displays
Personal DaqView allows the creation of real-time displays using built-in display options, including digital, dial meter, bar graph, and strip chart displays. No programming is required — simply point, click, and drag desired display options to create a visual display screen.

The OMB-DAQ-54/55/56 are also shipped with PostView, a postacquisition application that permits you to display acquired data previously saved to a file. Drivers for Visual Basic, Delphi and C++ for Windows98/2000/XP/VISTA, are also included. In addition, drivers are available for icon-based software packages, such as DASYLab and LabVIEW.

 


Expandable Inputs
The OMB-DAQ-55 and OMB-DAQ-56 are expandable through the use of the OMB-PDQ1 and OMB-PDQ2 expansion modules as shown in the table below. The OMB-DAQ54 does not have any expansion capability.
