Chassis adds eight PCI slots
Adept Scientific announces the release of the new Satellite series PCI expansion chassis from Measurement Computing Corporation, the new name of ComputerBoards.
The PCI-DAS64/M1/14 is a 64-channel, 14bit 1MHz board at a price that is lower than many competitors' equivalent 12bit boards.
It builds on the success of the PCI-DAS64/M2/16, providing a solution for those who need a higher sampling rate or resolution than existing 12bit boards supply, without paying for the premium performance of the PCI-DAS64/M2/16.
Prices for the PCI-DAS64/M1/14 start at just GBP 1750 ex-VAT.
The new board provides 64 single-ended, or 32 differential inputs (the input mode is software-selectable), as well as 14bit analogue inputs with a sample rate of 1MHz, 32bit of digital I/O and one 16bit down-counter.
Analogue and digital trigger levels and direction are also software-selectable.
The PCI-DAS64/M1/14 is completely plug-and-play.
There are no switches, jumpers or potentiometers on the board.
All board addresses, interrupt channels etc.
are set by your computer's plug-and-play software.
Calibration is fully digital ensuring accuracy is maintained.
Channel-to-channel skew (the time between consecutive samples) results from multiplexing the analogue inputs.
The PCI-DAS64/M1/14 provides burst mode to minimise this skew by clocking the A/D at a high rate between successive samples within a scan.
The board's burst mode timing (1us minimum sample/skew delay) allows users to simulate an SS/H (simultaneous sample and hold) front end.
The PCI-DAS64/M1/14 board's high-speed 14bit analogue outputs are updated via onboard 16Kbit FIFO and provide a 100kHz maximum update rate.
Each board is fully supported by Measurement Computing's powerful Universal Library and a wide variety of software packages including VEE and VEE Lab from Agilent Technology; LabVIEW from National Instruments; DAS-Wizard, which brings data acquisition capability to Microsoft Excel; and SoftWIRE, a graphical programming interface for Microsoft Visual Basic.
