USB-DAQ

The data logger that looks like a USB flash drive to a PC

USB-DAQ is a low cost data logger and process controller. In normal operation it operates autonomously, collecting data and providing control as required. An on-board real time clock is provided.

When plugged into a USB port, USB-DAQ appears on the PC like a removable disk. One file, CONFIG.DAT, contains the application code. This file is created on the PC from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Other files may be used for logging data.

USB-DAQ uses the Mass Storage Device (MSD) USB profile. It does not require USB driver installation, and so is immediately compatible with present and future Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems

USB-DAQ can use internal flash memory for small amounts of data storage, a 25AA1024 EEPROM chip for moderate data storage (128Kbyte). The 28-pin device can additionally use SD card memory and chips up to 1GB.
