PicoLog 1216 and PicoLog 1012 multichannel voltage data loggers

PicoLog 1216:

• 16 unipolar analog input channels
• 12-bit resolution for 0.5% accuracy
• 4 software configurable digital output lines
• 1 PWM control output

PicoLog 1012:

• 12 unipolar analog input channels
• 10-bit resolution for 1% accuracy
• 2 software configurable digital output lines

Shared features:

• Up to 1 MS/s sample rate
• USB connected and powered
• Software and pin compatible with Pico USB ADC-11
• Current-limited sensor excitation output
• Works with Windows XP and Vista (32 and 64-bit)
• Includes API and examples for C/C++/C#, VB, LabVIEW VIs
• Complete with terminal board and ready-to-go data logging software

Designed to meet the needs of a wide range of general-purpose voltage, sensor and transducer logging applications, the PicoLog 1216 and 1012 feature independent software-configurable channels, ranges, scaling and control outputs, an external terminal board for custom front-end circuitry and a choice of 10 or 12-bit input resolution.

The PicoLog 1216 and 1012 voltage data loggers contain everything needed for immediate use and are complemented by a full suite of software including the PicoLog data logging package, the PicoScope oscilloscope package and an SDK for writing user programs.

Both loggers feature 3 sampling modes to meet most data logging needs: real-time continuous, streaming and block mode. Streaming allows channel voltage readings to be logged continuously at 1 kS/s on any number of channels, while real-time continuous provides averaged, time-accurate readings with automatic measurements available in PicoLog. Block mode captures at the full 1 MS/s sample rate of the logger for the duration of the 8k sample buffer.
