    The USB-1208FS-Plus-OEM worked for our test application, however, the first unit we received was DOA

    Posted by LetsRollToday3 on 7th Oct 2018

    We ordered Qty. 2 of the USB-1208FS-Plus-OEM 2-Bit, 50 kS/s, Multifunction OEM DAQ Board because the first unit was found DOA upon installation into our galvo train test fixture (it would not show up in our device manager, no LED indicator on. I don't have specific data to back up, but there are indications that a 3rd instance of this board has also failed in the recent past. The product was reasonably priced and in both cases we received the unit sooner that was estimated at the time order was placed. In general, the boards had performed well for our acquisition, analyzing and storing data.

    Great Value

    Posted by CountryEE on 26th Jun 2018

    For under $200 the module is the heart of my simple board tester. The library of functions and sample code got me up and running in only a day or so.

    Good overall with no issues

    Posted by Nathan on 7th May 2017

    I have purchased a few of these devices to use with pressure transducers. I did break one (our fault) and they have a great replacement policy if a unit can't be repaired. Other than that, these units have performed great for our testing.

    Does a good job

    Posted by BStack1 on 12th Feb 2017

    We have used this model device in the past and were pleased with it's ease of use with data we needed. We again were happy this time with device and will be using it more and more in the future.

    Extremely versatile device.

    Posted by Time_Guy_Mike on 18th Jan 2017

    I work at a small research lab and am responsible for coming up with innovative ways to perform SBIR funded research on a shoe string budget. I have explored many different options and finally found the USB-1408FS. I initially used the USB-1208LS and was very happy to upgrade to the USB-1408FS. With minimal cost and effort I quickly wrote a program that allows us to perform a wide variety of measurements with the results saved to disk. The D/A and A/D functions are very versatile, along with the I/O ports. I highly recommend this to anyone doing simple home projects to serious researchers. We have performed research for DARPA, NASA, NASA JPL, the US Navy, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the Marine Corps, and the New York City MTA to name just a few. Odds are, that whatever you are working on, Measurement Computing can help.
