Isolated analog inputs/outputs

Hello,

Anybody knows if there are available an USB DAQ with isolated analog inputs/outputs? I need it because I have to contol an power suply GEN 10-1000,  by the DB25 connector, which connector isn't isolated.

Thanks!

What interface will you be connecting to on the supply to control it?  Why do you need an isolated USB Daq for controlling the supply versus an isolated USB-to-communications port (GPIB, LXI, Serial,...)?  Could you supply some information about the supply that you want to control?

Dear Minions,

I want to control a TDK lambda power supply called GEN10-1000, it's a power supply able to supply 10 volts and 1000 Amperes. I would like to control it by the rear DB25 connector which isn't isolated. I think there are a datasheet online available. TDK said that I shouldn't connect USB 6008 to that power supply because that kind of connector isn't isolated. There are an option in which the power supply are made with an isolated analog I/O control. But in our Lab there isn't that option installed. Other option is control it via RS232 but i should prefer initially control by a DAQ. Could you help me? This weekend I will try to read some information about isolation.

Thanks!
