ISO-Channel Technologie for USB-Modules and Ethernet-Instruments

Highly Accurate Thermocouple Temperature Measurement Instruments for Ethernet (LXI)

TEMPpoint is a solution for 48 channels isolated temperature applications including datalogger functionality.  Measure Foundry 5.0 supports now all GPIB, LAN, USB and LXI-Instruments, as well as 24-Bit Data Acquisition Sound and Vibration USB Moduls.

Brings new innovation to the USB measurement industry with the Company's release of the world's fastest simultaneous USB data acquisition device. With throughput rates up to 2.0MHz per channel, no other company can match the performance and ease-of-use for measurement offered by Data Translation.

The first in a series of economical mini-instruments were introduced. The ECONseries provides a new class of instruments that gives the user the ability to make complex measurements easily with a laptop anywhere at anytime. The GO! application software that ships with the series provides 8 mini-instruments in one easy to navigate application.

The Company continued its dominance in the USB area with the introduction of a series of high speed (500 kHz), high resolution, high performance data acquisition boards with a wide range of options for the customer to choose from.

A new Frame Grabber generation, the MACH II series for progressive (DT 3162) and Camera Link (DT 3145) cameras was announced.

The Company introduced a real-time DSP data acquisition and control board for USB 2.0 based on Texas Instrument’s C67xx chip series. This technology offers measurement and control performance that is up to 1000 times faster than the capability of a PC-only system.

To offer a total solution for all of its data acquisition, imaging and machine vision customers, Data Translation launched its own software packages in 2000 and 2001. DT Vision Foundry, powerful machine vision software, and DT Measure Foundry, test and measurement application builder software that allows anyone to easily and quickly create measurement applications without programming.

Another technological development, the industry-standard flash ADC converter, spurred the design of the company's first frame grabbers. These image acquisition boards work with PCs to capture and process images from cameras. Image acquisition and analysis systems were quickly adopted for applications such as medical imaging, microscopy, and component testing. The 1990's brought with it another development, the PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus, which made possible a vast increase in system speeds. Data Translation developed the world's first PCI data acq card, and a series of frame grabbers for imaging and machine vision to make the most of PCI technology.
Data Translation introduced in 1999 the first true USB products for high performance data acquisition, making portable plug- and play measurements a reality.

In 1983 the area of low-cost PC-based data acquisition is ushered in with the DT 2801 series, the world's first multifunction PC-board.
Data Translation took advantage of rapidly changing technologies to make products more powerful and user-friendly. For example, advances in integrated circuit architecture enabled designers to add more capabilities onto ever-smaller circuit boards. Also, the emergence of low-cost personal computers with powerful operating systems and graphical user interfaces made it possible for users to develop customized data acquisition systems for a fraction of the cost of large, complex proprietary systems.
