Digilent MCC USB-CTR08: Counter/Timer USB Device

The Measurement Computing USB-CTR08 is a USB-based, high-speed counter/timer device and features 8 counter inputs, 48 MHz input frequency, up to 64-bit resolution, up to 8 MB/s scan rates, multiple counter modes, four pulse-width modulation (PWM) timers, and eight digital I/O. This device is USB-powered and requires no external power.

The USB-CTR series are high-speed counter/timer devices and feature up to eight counter inputs, 48 MHz input frequency, up to 64-bit resolution, up to 8 MB/s scan rates, multiple counter modes, four pulse-width modulation (PWM) timers, and eight digital I/O.

Software support includes DAQami, an out-of-the-box application for data logging, visualization, and signal generation. Data can be viewed in real-time or post-acquisition on user-configurable displays. Drivers are included for the most popular applications and programming languages including Visual C++, Visual C#, Visual Basic.NET, DASYLab, LabVIEW, Linux, and Python.
