    Easy to use & easy integration with Matlab

    Posted by Kevin123 on 18th Nov 2018

    I bought this product primarily for its Matlab integration functionality (as advertised) and was not disappointed. We are using it in proof-of-concept/alpha design level projects in advance of migrating to a fully embedded product solution and have purchased additional units to be used in other projects as well. It was very easy to get up and running (using the examples and documentation provided by MCC & Matlab) and has worked flawlessly and continuously ever since. The only 'bump in the road' was the observation that you need to open the InstaCal application when you plug a different MCC ADC into the PC so that the InstaCal application can remove the previous device and configure the new one. This is required for Matlab to find the device. I plan on using more of these modules and have recommended to others as well.

    Very good value for money and tremendous tech. support

    Posted by JohnnyMalaria on 10th Sep 2017

    My need was pretty straightforward: simultaneous acquisition of 5 <1Vpp signals up to 1kHz. Timing and phase accuracy are musts. Because my application resembles a lock-in amplifier, the noise specifications of this low cost model are acceptable. The key must-have features this unit has are: simultaneous and continuous acquisition, USB (self-powered) and ability to control with Python. I am so impressed with MCC that Python support is provided. Moreover, lots of examples programs are available to make it easier to learn how to get the most from the unit. I encountered a problem with one of the examples when running it with 64-bit Python vs. 32-bit. I contacted Tech Support and received a reply overnight. Initially, MCC couldn't reproduce the error. Much to my amazement, about a week letter, Jeff in Tech Support phoned me to let me know that the engineers has found the problem and had updated the entire Python package. I tried it and it worked like a charm. I should also say that MCC's pre-sales support is great. Every product page as a Q&A section. Use it! I have always received a reply within 24hrs. In short, MCC provides the essential trio of solid hardware, thorough documentation for the hardware and development software, and responsive support. Very happy.

    Max throughput evaluation

    Posted by Ricko on 14th Sep 2016

    Rating is strictly based on applicability toward servo control. Was promised extremely high throughput (sample to output time) but discovered the module maxes out at slightly over 200Hz which takes it out of the arena of servo control. Board should be perfectly suitable for sample 'scope programs or where large volumes of data can be sampled for display at a later time such as warehouse thermocouples, energy management etc.
