Data Acquisition Devices

Can I achieve 10 kHz sample rate (0.0001 sec sampling interval) with the Quanser Q2-USB or Q8-USB Boards?

I just upgraded my system from Wincon to QUARC and I have a Quanser Q4/Q8 Hardware-in-the-loop board. Where can I obtain the drivers for my Q8 board, as well as instructions for their installation/setup?

How can I know if my Data Acquisition (DAQ) Device is supported by QUARC?

My Quanser QPID/QPIDe board was working fine but the encoders suddenly stopped reading. What could be causing the problem?

Do the Quanser Q2-USB and Q8-USB data acquisition devices have a fuse or protective circuit on them, like the earlier Quanser Q4 and Q8 Hardware-in-the-loop boards?

What sampling rate can I reach with Quanser Q2-USB and Q8-USB data acquisition devices?
