Datalogger control outputs are software configurable.(PAUL'S PICKS)

The PicoLog 1000 Series of multichannel, USB-powered voltage dataloggers provides up to a 1-MS/s sampling rate and a current-limited sensor excitation output. The portable units include independent software-configurable control outputs, an external terminal board to facilitate connections, and custom front-end circuitry.

The PicoLog 1216 offers 16 unipolar analog inputs, 12-bit resolution, four configurable digital outputs, and one PWM control output. The PicoLog 1012 has 12 unipolar analog inputs, 10-bit resolution, and two configurable digital outputs.

Both loggers feature real-time continuous, streaming and block sampling modes. Streaming mode allows channel voltage readings to be logged continuously at 1 kS/s on any number of channels. Real-time continuous mode provides averaged, time-accurate readings with automatic measurements available in PicoLog. Block mode captures at the full 1-MS/s sample rate of the logger for the duration of the 8-kS buffer.
