GCASk USB data acquisition system is a 24-bit acquisition system (DACQ). Since the hardware interfaces to the computer via USB, there is no board to install, even a small laptops can be used. Due to its size, the unit can be installed close to the signal's source to maximise signal/noise performance. Two detectors per unit are supported and up to 16 units can be connected to one PC. GCASk can be configured to record the data file to five widely used file formats. GCASk file format is compatible with ChromPerfect, EZChrom, HPChem and Galactic software packages. The low cost of a unit and its ability to be used with existing data analysis packages, without adding the cost of a licence, makes it a great product for anyone needing to add acquisition channels to an existing platform.
