    Reasonable price and stable performance

    Posted by Coco Z on 24th Sep 2019

    The product is good in price and the quality is comparable to others with similar specifications. We used the item for 2 years now and have not experienced any real problem. The connections sometimes have problems with the LabView due to the software issue, but the hardware performance was stable.

    USB-1408FS plus

    Posted by schlott on 24th Feb 2019

    We've been using this module in our instrument for a few years now with great success. As a small company we have been able to migrate from Windows 7 to Windows 10 OS PC with little trouble. We jumped from the FS to the FS plus version without problems. Older devices have been easily upgraded in firmware with Measurement Computings on line tools. I am really please with the devices stability and performance which allows us to offer our customers all the convenience/familiarity/connectivity of a Windows PC experience. This is a great device for bringing your instrument or control into the digital age and evolving it over time to benefit your customers.

    easy to use, robust DAQ

    Posted by scslin on 18th Nov 2018

    This DAQ is very easy to use and robust. The provided Labview library makes it simple and quick to build programs in the Labview environment. Given it's performance and lower price vs NI DAQ, I highly recommend this product.
