PowerLab C

 

PowerLab C is a digital data acquisition device at the heart of a modular system that provides unparalleled flexibility for researchers looking to invest in customizable, reliable, solutions for both now, and in the future.

Modular System Options

PowerLab C Series Devices

Instrument Interface
Connect analog instruments / simple DAQ

PowerLab C
Synchronized DAQ and power management

Front End Interface
Connect analog ADInstruments signal conditioners / simple DAQ

Analog compatible

Based on modern digital architecture, PowerLab C integrates data from up to four C Series compatible USB-C devices. Our first two C Series compatible devices are the Instrument Interface and the Front End Interface. When connected to the PowerLab C, these Interfaces allow you to integrate any existing analog technology, ADInstruments or otherwise, with sub-µS synchronization and seamlessly stream data into one software platform (LabChart 8 or LabChart Lightning) for analysis. So you can invest in the future while still being able to use existing equipment in your lab!

Digital framework for the future

Looking forward, we are planning a complete product pipeline of C Series digital DAQ devices, so you can sample data with unparalleled precision and time synchronization across all aspects of your research.

Modular

Provides a modular data acquisition system that can grow as your research requirements grow

  • Create a simple setup of one device connected to a computer via a C Series Interface,
  • Connect multiple devices via C Series Interfaces with a PowerLab C,
  • Or chain multiple PowerLab C units together for even greater sampling capacity
