The SDM-SW8A is an 8-channel pulse count module; each channel can be individually configured for single-pole double throw (SPDT), single-pole single throw (SPST), or voltage pulse measurements. Output options include state, duty cycle, or counts. The SW8A is well suited for use in energy mangement studies. We recommend a maximum of four SW8As be connected to a single datalogger.
