Product Highlights

The DI-5001 is a fully integrated OEM instrument that provides 32 single-ended or 16 differential analog input channels. The DI-5001 conveniently connects to the printer port of any desktop or portable PC and supports standard, bi-directional, and EPP parallel port modes. Its built-in ADC allows sample rates of once per second to 250,000 samples per second in either triggered or continuous modes. It features two analog outputs with a range of ±10V, and eight each digital inputs and outputs. Signal connections are made directly to the two 40-pin headers. The DI-5001 is offered with your choice of two input measurement ranges: ±10 volts full scale or ±5 volts full scale. Input measurement ranges are as follows:

±10 Volts Full Scale ±5 Volts Full Scale
±10V at a gain of 1 ±5V at a gain of 1
±5V at a gain of 2 ±2.5V at a gain of 2
±2.5V at a gain of 4 ±1.25V at a gain of 4
±1.25V at a gain of 8 ±0.625V at a gain of 8

Connect To Any PC

The DI-5001 connects to the standard, bi-directional, or enhanced parallel port (EPP) of desktop, laptop, or notebook PC's. Includes a six foot parallel port cable and adapter. Optional Ethernet and USB interfaces are available.

High-Level Signal Inputs

Each DI-5001 has 32 high-level input channels that can be configured as single-ended or differential on a per channel basis. It also features a jumper selectable measurement range of ±10V full scale or ±5V full scale. Channels are accessed through two 40-pin IDC connectors.

Free Software Support

Each DI-5001 comes standard with a complete software development kit for DOS and Windows. A DLL allows you to integrate the DI-5001 with any Windows program. A number of DOS libraries allow access to DI-5001 hardware through a wide range of DOS programming languages. Also standard is WinDaq/Lite, a free, 16-channel version of WinDaq/Pro that works at the full sample rate of the DI-5001, but is restricted to a maximum throughput of 240 Hz when recording to disk. WinDaq Waveform Browser, our playback and analysis software for Windows, is also distributed free with the DI-5001. It can also be downloaded free-of-charge from this web site.

Additional Software Support

The DI-5001 is also supported by WinDaq/Pro and WinDaq/Pro+ data acquisition software.
