8- or 16-channel module for isolated measurement of voltage, current and temperature

The SCI16 and SCI8 measurement modules are analog input modules with 8 and 16 multiplexed isolated inputs, respectively. Voltage signals of up to 60 V, current signals of up to 20 mA, Pt100 sensors and any commercially available thermocouples can be connected directly. Advanced signal processing techniques provide fully simultaneous sampling without any channel dependent time delays, despite it's multiplexed architecture.
