ISO-Channel™ uses galvanic isolation methods to guarantee 1000V isolation between any input channel to any other input channel and ±500V to earth ground. Common mode noise and ground loop problems are eliminated with ISO-Channel since sensors that are at different ground reference levels are easily accommodated, even if they are at widely differing voltages of hundreds of volts or transients to thousands of volts.

ISO-Channel vastly increases reliability by implementing a 24-bit A/D converter per channel on each of many channels, all operating in parallel. Older system designs with relay front ends are prone to system failure through "sticking channels" or magnetic field influence. The all solid-state ISO-Channel provides digital transfer of valuable sensor data with optical or transformer isolation.

The result is that accuracy is preserved for all sensor inputs. This is especially useful when conditions change in the electrical environmental due to motor current surges, electromagnetic radiation, or noisy industrial equipment turning on/off.

To obtain ultra-accurate, highly stable, precision DAQ measurements, use our high-resolution DT9824 module (USB) or DT8824 instrument module (Ethernet). For sound & vibration applications, use our DT9837 module (USB) or DT8837 instrument module (Ethernet). Or, for applications where correlating temperature and voltage measurements is required, use our TEMPpoint™, VOLTpoint™, and MEASURpoint™ instruments for USB or Ethernet. Each product is designed with ISO-Channel protection technology for superior isolation and reliability.

Application Notes and White Papers
	Isolated Inputs Offer New Application Advantages Protection from noise and ground loops with new ISO-Channel architecture that provides channel-to-channel isolation using an A/D per channel with a DC-DC converter for each A/D.
	Why ISO-Channel Technology is Your Best Return on Investment When connecting signal sources it is important to eliminate the sources of error that can contribute to inaccuracies in your measurements. In most measurement instruments, this burden is on the customer. Instruments that use ISO-Channel technology solve this problem for you – saving you tremendous setup and debug time and reducing costly grounding problems when connecting signals.
