    USB-1408FS-Plus-OEM

    Posted by Andy on 13th Jan 2021

    The customer service was awesome. I got what I ordered and my project is on its way. I would definitely work with measurement computing again for my future needs.

    Great, reliable product

    Posted by nick on 28th Sep 2020

    Ordered this product to connect my process valves to the computer for remote, automated control. The product was straightforward and the manual enabled connection of the wires to the correct receptacles. As soon as I clamped them in, it worked and I've had no issues over the last month. Great, reliable product.

    Amazing produce

    Posted by Lcar10 on 27th Sep 2020

    This product is great for its use. I purchased it to learn about data acquisition in circuits and many other things and it works beautifully. I'm learning a lot and definitely recommend this product.

    We own four units -- work perfectly

    Posted by Good Deal on 22nd Sep 2020

    For us, the USB-1208FS is an indispensable development tool used in conjunction with the DAQami software package. The 12-bit resolution and high sampling rate, along with the sufficient (for us) number of analog inputs, provides us with the data we need to assess how our system is performing. As a startup company, we appreciate the favorable price/performance value.

    Great product

    Posted by Tech709 on 8th Sep 2020

    It has been years that we had to purchase a new one. It has lasted us a good time and is still working. Great product for the price!

    Compact unit, low cost, feature rich

    Posted by ROK56 on 14th Oct 2019

    We have been using this product flawlessly for years and use just a small amount of I/O. Would be difficult to locate a better product at a lower cost.

    Labview driver problems

    Posted by teknikal2 on 29th Sep 2019

    When I last wrote a Labview program for one of these several years ago, everything was good. But when I attempted to use the latest Labview drivers about 6 months ago, I had problems. Every time I would write a new digital value to a pin, the other pins would also change. To work around it, I'd have to keep track of what all the outputs should be, and re-write everything anytime I wanted one pin to change.

    Useful in manufacturing test systems

    Posted by Richard on 24th Sep 2019

    I have used this in two different manufacturing test systems - one production test for a small electronics systems manufacturer and the other in a laboratory test system for chemical product standards tests. In both cases I used Microsoft Visual Studio and the .NET libraries furnished by MCC to implement the data acquisition environment. Both high-speed data streaming and polled data acquisition worked well. The .NET chart controls that are standard in Visual Studio provide allowed me to build both oscillographic and strip cart displays for visual analysis.
