Description
The DI-160 USB Event Data Logger features 8 input channels (four high and four low) with programmable capture modes to detect events (when the events happen), states (how long between events) and counts (how many events).
The DI-160 features programmable capture modes to detect events (when the events happen), states (how long between events) and counts (how many events). An internal real time clock provides time and date stamping for each captured quantity, and storage is accomplished to a removable SD-style memory card. Data storage format is comma-separated value (CSV) so recorded files are human-readable and easily imported to other applications like Microsoft Excel.
The DI-160 features eight input channels split between four high voltage and four low voltage types. The high voltage channels may be connected to any ±300V or 230 VAC rms source and feature input-tooutput and channel-to-channel isolation of 500 VDC or ±250 V peak AC. The four low voltage inputs are internally pulled-up and may be used to detect activity from switch closures, TTL-level signals, or DC levels up to 30 Volts.
The unit can be powered by an AC adaptor or an internal rechargeable battery. Three status LEDs are provided: USB interface detected, sampling, and battery charging.

| Operation | |
| Programmable functions: | Event, State, Count (alternating current (AC) counter or high-speed (HS) counter; HV channels 1-3 and LV channels 5-7 may function as counters, but no more than three counters can be enabled at any time.) |
| Programmable intervals: (applies to all channels) |
1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30 seconds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 hours |
| Counter Operation | |
| Reset condition: | Programmable interval timeout |
| Maximum count: | 1 sec interval, 8,192 >1 sec interval, 9,999 |
| Maximum frequency: | 2 kHz |
| Minimum pulse width: | > 500 μs |
| HS Counter Operation: | Used whenever the need exists to account for and totalize each pulse that occurs within a sample interval |
| AC Counter Operation: | Optimized for 50/60 Hz power line frequencies. Designed to ignore power line transitions and to change state only when power is removed or applied. Maximum line frequency: 120 Hz Maximum count frequency: 20 Hz |
| State Operation | |
| Operation: | Determines the DURATION of an event. Records the state that exists upon termination of a sample interval. |
| Event Operation | |
| Operation: | Determines WHEN an event occurred, but does not yield the duration of the event. Records a single time-stamped data point when one or more events occur within a definable interval. |
| Min capture event pulse width: | > 500 µs |
| Internal Date/Time Clock | |
| Accuracy: | 20 ppm |
