ML846 PowerLab 4/26 is a data acquisition (DAQ) tool designed for accurate, dependable, and consistent data collecting.
PowerLab, which was created in 1985, has served as a dependable tool for a whole generation of researchers and teachers, providing a quick and adaptable solution for practically all kinds of physiological data collection.
PowerLab is compatible with instruments, signal conditioners, and transducers produced by ADInstruments and many other top brands, and it can record at rates of up to 400,000 samples per second continually to disk (aggregate).
ADInstruments' research line of PowerLabs is designed with accuracy in mind and is built to provide you with high-quality, reproducible data while adhering to the toughest international safety requirements.
In order to achieve great resolution on even the smallest signals, Research PowerLabs offers 16-bit resolution on all gain ranges. To reduce channel crosstalk and signal noise, each channel has its own set of filters and noise-reduction hardware. All research PowerLabs come with a 5-year product guarantee, two analog outputs, and a trigger input.
There is a research PowerLab to meet your needs that is highly functional and flexible for even the most demanding applications.
PowerLab 4/26
The 4/26 has 4 analog input channels with a maximum sampling rate of 100kHz per channel as an entry-level research-grade DAQ device. Each channel will have a separate ADC to maintain perfect data synchronization.
PowerLab 2/26
The 2/26 is a great entry option for people who only need a few channels. 100kHz is the maximum sampling rate per channel. Each channel will have a separate ADC to maintain perfect data synchronization.
Key Features
Simple to Use
PowerLabs are USB data gathering devices that are portable (DAQs). Simply place the PowerLab on your work surface, plug it in, and begin using LabChart.

Product codes:
- PL2604 PowerLab 4/26
- PL2602 PowerLab 2/26
A USB 2 or 3 interface is necessary for a PowerLab to attach to your computer.
LabChart 8 or LabChart Lightning software for research, or LabStation, Lt, or LabChart for Education software for teaching, are both compatible with PowerLabs. Most of the time, any desktop or laptop PC or Mac with a current AMD or Intel processor and 2 Gb or more of system memory will be adequate. For more detailed information, please refer to LabChart's system requirements.
