OMD-5508TC, OMD-5508RTD and OMD-5508RTD from $650
Plug in Cards with Direct Connection to Thermocouples, RTDs and Strain Gages

 OMD-5508TC, OMD-5508RTD and OMD-5508RTD

The OMEGA OMD-5508 Series offers a unique approach to plug-in data acquisition. Designed to simplify signal connection and eliminate cabling costs, each I/O module contains a detachable screw terminal panel that mates with the board connector at the rear of he PC. On-board signal conditioning allows the boards to connect to sensors directly, eliminating the need for expensive external signal conditioning and ribbon cabling.

Three different models are available to provide direct connection to thermocouples, RTDs and strain gages. These boards are ideally suited for medium speed data acquisition with sample rates up to 8000 samples per second (7000 samples per second for OMD- 5508BG). For high speed strain measurements, a faster version (200 kHz) of the OMD- 5508BG with anti-aliasing filtering is available. Consult Engineering for details.

All OMD-5508 boards include utility software which not only supports data collection but also greatly facilitates configuring the boards. The software, supplied on a single floppy with no need for a user's manual, is a complete I/O board tutorial on a diskette. The friendly menu-driven interface guides the user through board jumper settings, with help screens to explain the function of each jumper. Once the board has been configured for your application, the software can be used to perform low speed (1 Hz) data acquisition on all channels, expressing the data as temperature or strain. The software performs real time display and storage of data to an ASCII file. A 16 bit Windows version, DaqView, is supplied with each board, however, a DOS version is available.

The boards are supplied with one mating screw terminal panel to accept field wiring. For portable applications, extra terminal panels may be purchased.
