DAQ USB modules
The DAQ USB modules provide an easy and efficient means of adding measurement and control capabilities to USB-capable computers; no longer need to open the chassis to install DAQ cards, just plug in the module into free USB port.
Additionally, because no external power connection is required, making these modules the most cost-effective solution for testing and measurement applications, especially in mobile or laboratory measurements. However, if your application prefers real-time response, DAQ PCIe card or DAQ PCI card is a better choice.
All types of modules mentioned on this page are intended for USB rev. 2.0, but can be connected to USB rev. 3.0 host port.

Advanced DAQ USB modules (200kHz ADC max.)
The production of the existing modules of the UDAQ-1416xx/1432xx series has been stopped and in the near future they will be replaced by a new modular series suitable for custom modifications.
Software support
Drivers for the following operating systems are available for DAQ USB modules:
- Windows 11 and Windows 10 (all 32-bit & 64-bit version)
- Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2008 R2 (all 32-bit & 64-bit version), will no longer be updated
- Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019 are not (and will not be) supported
- Windows Vista and older (resp. Windows Server 2008 and older) are supported by separate driver versions, but without TEDIA technical support
Appplication drivers & software utilities (usually only for desktop versions of Windows):
- application multidriver TEDIA_DAQ01 supporting DAQ USB modules and DAQ PCI cards + program examples (C++, Visual Basic, Delphi)
- example of direct measurement in MS Excel - XLS sheet containing the Visual Basic macro
- Control Web drivers
(a Czech development environment provided by Moravian Instruments) - TEDIA Recorder for measuring and recording of measured data to the disk file
- ScopeWin32 for measuring and data analysis (Czech user interface only)
Note: For more information on drivers and software, see the sections Software & drivers or Download.
DAQ USB modules accessories
As a basic accessory, USB cables of different lengths and spare plug-in terminal blocks are supplied, details are given in the pricelist. In addition, a number of terminals and cables for DAQ PCI cards can be used.
