DrDAQ is a low cost data logger from Pico that simply plugs into the parallel port of any Windows PC.

DrDAQ has built in sensors for light and temperature, and a microphone to record sound. It can also measure voltage and resistance. In addition it has a socket for standard pH electrodes and connectors that allow the use of optional external sensors for measuring temperature, humidity, pressure and more.

Digital I/Os

Your USB DrDAQ also includes 4 digital input/outputs. In input mode these give you even more monitoring options. When used as outputs they enable you to use your DrDAQ to control external devices. 2 of the digital I/Os include a pulse-counting function when used as inputs, and a pulse-width modulation (PWM) output capability.

More than just a data logger

Thanks to the power of your DrDAQ you can also use it as an oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer. Just run the supplied PicoScope software and your DrDAQ becomes a single-channel scope with a 100 kHz  bandwidth, 8-bit resolution and the ability to measure voltages of up to ±10 volts.

But that’s not all. Your DrDAQ also includes a signal generator. The signal generator output not only includes a standard function generator, but also an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) too. Using the AWG function you can create your own waveforms.

Supplied complete with software and cables, the DrDAQ is ideal for classroom science experiments.

• Very low cost
