Overview of the Measurement Computing USB-1208FS-PLUS 8-Channel DAQ Device

The Measurement Computing USB-1208-PLUS DAQ module offers 8 single-ended or 4 differential analog inputs, two analog outputs, 16 digital I/O, and one counter input. A fast 50 kS/s aggregate sample rate means you will have practically continuous data monitoring. You don’t even need a separate power supply as it can run entirely off a USB port. The Measurement Computing DAQ software suite is included for download for data analyzation

Customer Questions
can you use the USB-1208-PLUS USB-based 8 Channel Data Acquisition Device on a Mac?
At this time there is no software available for this DAQ that works natively on a Mac.
Is there a difference between the USB-1208FS and the USB-1208FS-PLUS?
The "Plus" is the newer version and in most cases the one you should purchase.  Measurement Computing intended for the Plus versions to replace the standard versions but some of their legacy customers required the older units still be made available...
