RAD-IO2 Series

The RAD-IO2 family communicates on an open source UART based serial communication protocol. Up to 3 to 4 devices can be daisy chained. The chain length is limited by current supplied to the chain through USB. All RAD-IO2 devices have input to output isolation, and 2.5kV isolation between each of the eight banks. Bank to bank isolation is important because it allows the common mode voltage of each input signal to be different than the other channels in other banks. (This is a major source of measurement error on non-isolated devices and can damage to the product.) Additionally, noise on one channel will not affect other channels.
