Stamford, Conn.— InstruNet is a high accuracy, distributed data acquisition system for Microsoft Windows 95/NT and Apple Macintosh computers. The Series has a completely different topology that uses a controller board plugged into the computer and external A/D boxes for direct connection to thermocouple, RTD, thermistor, voltage, bridge, and strain sensors. Each external A/D box has 16 single-ended and 8 differential analog inputs, 8 analog outputs, and 8 digital I/O. Each controller card can connect up to 16 external A/D boxes that can be placed on a network up to 1,000 ft away from the computer for a total of 256 analog inputs, 128 analog outputs, and 128 digital I/O. Drivers are available for “C,” Visual Basic, HPVEE, and TestPoint. Optional LabView drivers are also available. www.omegaengineering.com
