Overview

USB-045A is a converter capable of measuring two channels 4-20 mA current. It connects to a computer via USB, allowing measurement results to be displayed and logged. The USB interface and each channel are independently isolated. In addition, an A/D converter is provided for every two channels, enabling simultaneous measurement of two channels. Dedicated control commands are also provided, enabling 4-20 mA measurement from user applications.

Features

  • 2 channel 4-20 mA measurement data acquisition via USB
  • Measurement Range: 0-25 mA
  • Measurement Accuracy: ≤ ±0.25% FS
  • USB side and each channel are electrically isolated (2500 VDC)
  • Easy control via virtual COM port with USB connection to a PC
  • Enables 4-20 mA current output, auto-step, and auto-sweep operation via the included application
  • Enables 4-20 mA output from user applications using dedicated control commands
  • Controllable from embedded Linux devices
    It operates as a device of the standard CDC-ACM class.
    For Linux distributions with embedded CDC-ACM device drivers, you can use them without installing the drivers.
    We do not support the use of Linux itself.
