Interfaces directly to a PC for quick setup and data acquisition
Overview
The VOLT 108 is a general-purpose, multiplexed analog measurement module. Designed specifically for static measurement applications, it can also be used for dynamic measurements up to 10 to 100 Hz depending on the application. The VOLT 108 supports all standard analog sensor measurements and easily expands the GRANITE™ data-acquisition system. The VOLT 108 has eight differential or 16 single-ended input channels and two excitation channels. It provides a 12 V and a switched 12 V port and two switched 5 V ports for peripheral control.
Benefits and Features
- 24-bit ADC and low-noise inputs
- Channel count expansion via the CPI bus
- Scales up the number of channels without adding measurement time
- Easy to configure
- Selectable noise rejection
- CANbus 2.0 A/B output available
- USB 2.0 interface for direct-to-PC-based operation

CPI Calculator v.1.0 (2.49 MB) 06-07-2016
The CPI Calculator is a downloadable Microsoft Excel spreadsheet used to estimate the usage and capacity of a CPI network. The calculator provides an overview on CPI devices including the CDM-A108, CDM-A116, CDM-VW300, CDM-VW305, and the CSAT3B. The calculator can also estimate the measurement speed of the CDM-A108 and CDM-A116 based on the number of channels and measurement parameters.
The CPI Calculator is an estimation tool and will help you better understand and design CPI networks by considering the following:
- What is the capability of each CDM or CPI device
- What is the CPI network capacity
- How much of the CPI capacity are the CDMs or CPI devices using
