Application Notes

MicroDAQ
MicroDAQ is an ideal platform for developers, scientists and geeks
involved in real-time measurement and control development. The platform
supports design flows from popular model based tools like SCILAB, MATLAB, and
LABVIEW. The user has the choice to either go with a complete open source
software toolchain or with the existing access to proprietary tools in the house.
It provides MicroDAQ block set which gives user an access to MicroDAQ
hardware and many features which are helpful during real-time control and
measurement application development.

MicroDAQ E1100:
The MicroDAQ E1100/E1100 is a DSP real-time control measurement device
designed to solve complex problems. This device combines TI C6000
fixes/floating point DSP core and an ARM9 core. The MicroDAQ E1100 is
equipped with up to 8 channel analog input with a sample rate upto 166 KSPS.

MicroDAQ E1100 Specification:

up to 456MHz CPU
up to 32GB user memory
Ethernet
Wi-Fi
USB2.0
32 DIO lines
8 analog inputs
8 analog outputs
