Analog data acquisition is the basis of all control. Facing all kinds of expensive instruments, FineTooling has launched serials of cost-effective 8-channel 24 bits analog data acquisition modules. They are mainly used in: industrial automation test and control, static strain test and other fields
Figure 1 ADC Module Appearance
Combined market demand and cost analysis, based on the accuracy and sampling rate requirements, the price ranges from US $50 to US $100. For example FTAD8310, up to 30ksps sampling, with 8 analog differential inputs and 16 DIO channels, which can communicate through UART or SPI. It is suitable for most industrial field control. With SCPI instruction set, it can replace DMM + relay board in many applications, especially in the test of 3.7V lithium battery power supply products, the scheme of ADC module is more and more respected.
