LabJack T8, Isolated, Simultaneous, High Speed Analog & Digital Measurements

The LabJack T8 is the new flagship device, capable of collecting signals from virtually any kind of sensor. With instrumentation amplified inputs, software selectable gain settings, many digital I/O features, and a Modbus TCP front-end, the T8 is LabJack's most versatile multifunction DAQ platform. Common applications include sampling large industrial signals requiring electrical isolation and/or precision timing including EV battery testing, industrial control and monitoring, automated testing, and prototype development. Additionally, T8 devices are capable of stand-alone operation by running Lua scripts and include 5x more space for Lua scripts than other T-Series devices.

T8 Analog Input Features

• 8 Fully Isolated, differential Analog Inputs built in 1kV channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground isolation
• 24-bit high-speed ADC (up to 40,000 samples per second per channel) (Appendix A-1) Simultaneous, independent ADC per channel
  Software Configurable Resolution Settings
• Voltage Ranges: ±11V, ±9.7V, ±4.8V, ±2.4V,±1.2V, ±0.6V, ±0.3V, ±0.15V,±0.75V, ±0.36V, and ±0.18V (Appendix A-3-3)
• All analog input features are software programmable by configuring the Analog Input Registers
• High speed sampling configurable by using Stream Mode. Speeds up to 40kS/s/Ch
• Low Latency Sampling and Control (less than 1ms) is made easy with Command-Response Modbus messages
• Easy integration with sensors like thermocouples, load cells, bridges, and more Explore LabJack's Sensor App-Notes

T8 Analog Outputs

• 2 analog outputs (16-bit, 0-10V)
• Waveform generation via Stream Out
• Source Impedance/Load Current compensated up to 20mA
• Vout Min -0.0 Vout Max 10.0
• The DACs on the T8 use additional power systems to output voltage levels above and below the supply. This allows the T8 to output approximately -0.1 to 10 V as long as the supply voltage is within the valid operating range.

T8 Digital I/O

• 20 Digital I/O-Use our CB15 Terminal Board for access to all DIO
• Supports SPI, I2C, and more... (Master Only)
• up to 9 PWM Outputs with individual phase control
• up to 9 Pulse Outputs with configurable number, frequency, and width
• up to 9 Frequency Inputs returning both frequency and period
• up to 9 Pulse Width Inputs measuring time spent high and low as well as duty cycle
• up to 3 pairs Line-to-Line Inputs measuring the time between edges on 2 different lines
• up to 8 High-Speed Counters
• up to 16 Software Counters with debounce capabilities
• up to 8 Pairs of Quadrature Inputs
• Many of these DIO Extended Features share pins and cannot be used at the same time. See the DIO Extended Features section of the T8's datasheet
