True 4-channel 24-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter

This lightweight and compact serial port-powered A/D converter is included with Chrom&Spec system. It can be placed in close proximity to (or in some cases built into) the instrument, reducing the noise and improving overall resolution of the system. A personal computer connected through a digital cable can be placed up to 100 meters (330 feet) away from the ADC without any loss in resolution.

All 4 channels are completely independent from each other and have individual time bases. No multiplexing! A single A/D converter can be used for data acquisition from up to 4 instruments in parallel. Up to 8 converters can be connected to a single computer resulting in 32 channels independently processed by Chrom&Spec software.
