The Keysight U2355A is a USB modular multifunction data acquisition device that combines analog input, analog output, digital I/O, and counter functionality in a compact form factor. It delivers 16-bit resolution analog acquisition across up to 64 single-ended or 32 differential input channels at sampling rates to 250 kSa/s, paired with two 12-bit analog outputs operating at 1 MSa/s update rate. The device integrates 24-bit programmable TTL digital I/O, two general-purpose counter channels, and 8M points of onboard memory to support polling, continuous, and burst acquisition modes.
