The RedLab E-1608 provides the following features:

 Four differential (DIFF) or eight single-ended (SE) analog input channels (16-bit)

 Sample rates up to 250 kS/s aggregate

 Two analog output channels (16-bit)

 Eight individually configurable digital I/O channels

 One counter channel (32-bit) that counts TTL pulses

 Screw terminals for field wiring connections

The RedLab E-1608 is powered by a 5 volt power adapter.

Ethernet interface

The RedLab E-1608 has one built-in 10/100 BASE-T auto-negotiation, high-speed communication port.

With the Ethernet interface, you can remotely access and configure your RedLab E-1608 from anywhere on the network. Only one computer can control the RedLab E-1608 at one time. The networking protocols are TCP/IP and UDP.

A unique media access control (MAC) address is assigned to each device at the factory.

You configure the Ethernet connection settings through software. A network name in the format E-1608xxxxxx , is assigned to the RedLab E-1608, where xxxxxx represents the lower six characters of the device

MAC address.
