Analogue boards mount PCI and PXI
The DAQ-2500 and PXI-2500 series are four- or eight-channel 12bit high-performance analogue output cards for the PCI and PXI buses.
High-bandwidth PGA boosts acquisition performance
The latest data-acquisition card from Adlink features a novel programmable gain amplifier to overcome the traditional problems of acquiring signals faster than 500kHz.
Packed in a universal, 32bit PCI form factor with plug-and-play capability, the state-of-the-art PCI-7442 module implements an open drain Power MOSFET circuit in each of its 64 digital output channels, enabling each channel to handle currents of up to 300mA.
All PCI-7442 digital input lines are identical, nonpolar and isolated from each other to facilitate fast and accurate input collection, even in noisy environments.
The PCI-7442 I/O channels also come with up to 1250V RMS isolation voltage to protect the host system from damage due to voltage surges and external current.
The PCI-7442 also provides a 32-channel TTL I/O that can collect TTL signals and a board ID design that allows convenient card identification on systems with multiple PCI-7442 cards installed.
Promoting precision control, the PCI-7442 incorporates a change of state (COS) function that senses any sharp change in the logical state of any digital input and notifies the user of the change via an interrupt request.
The PCI-7442 is also equipped with dependable safety functions including programmable power-up DO status and a watchdog timer.
The programmable power-up DO status enables the user to set the DO status after a hot system reset; providing vital DO status reference and preventing execution of random and unexpected commands.
Supporting Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems, the PCI-7442 also comes with software drivers for widely-used application development environments, including Visual Basic, Visual C, BCB, Delphi, LabView and Matlab. Request a free brochure from Adlink Technology ...
