Solid state relay
Mainframe sold separately
Scanning speed up to 450 channels per second
2-wire and 4-wire scanning
20-Channel Universal Multiplexer (Solid State Relay)
The Instek DAQ-900 is a solid-state relay module that provides two groups (A/B) of 10 2-wire channels each. All 20 channels are switchable to high (HI) and low (LO) inputs, providing fully isolated inputs for the built-in digital meter or external instruments. During 4-wire resistance measurements, the channels of group A are automatically paired with the channels of group B to provide power and sense connections. The module has a built-in cold junction reference, which can greatly reduce errors caused by thermal gradients when measuring thermocouples.
Please note: this item is only a module – mainframe is sold separately.

Note:
1. For the measurement of 100Ω and 1kΩ resistance ranges, it is recommended to use 4-wire resistance. The maximum resistance range of DAQ-900 is 1MΩ.
2. When measuring AC voltage, the input impedance will decrease with frequency. A source impedance of 5Ω or less will maintain specification over frequency. A source impedance of 50Ω or less will maintain specification in the 5 kHz range.
3. For DC voltage measurement, if the integration time is short and the source impedance is high, more stabilization time may be required.
