The 104-COM-8S and 104-COM-4S are the latest additions to the line of PC/104 boards from Acces I/O Products.
Four Es a jolly good acquisition system
The Model E4-DAS takes its name from being an easy to use, Ethernet enabled, embedded and environmentally adaptable PC/104-based data acquisition system.
Standard features also include dual 12bit analogue outputs, 16 digital I/O lines and an 8254 with three 16bit counter/timers.
An excellent price/performance value, the LPCI-A16-16A meets the MD2 Low Profile PCIbus specification and can be installed in any 3.3 or 5V PCI or PCI-X slot.
The LPCI-A16-16A features 11 standard analogue input ranges and an extremely quiet front end.
A unique channel-by-channel programmable gain feature enables measurement of an assortment of large and small signals in one scan - all under hardware control at over 400Ksample/s.
The board's data FIFO and ability to trigger the A/D in real time assures synchronised sampling that is unaffected by other computer operations-an essential requirement for signal, vibration and transient analysis where high datarates must be sustained for short periods of time.
Standard LPCI-A16-16A features include: 500kHz sampling rate; 16 single-ended or eight differential inputs, unipolar or bipolar; autocalibration and oversampling for accurate data; unique channel-by-channel programmable gain feature; 1024 sample data FIFO for A/D (optional up to 64Ksample); two 12bit D/A outputs and 16 digital I/O lines; software-selectable synchronous, asynchronous, and timed trigger modes; and a PC/104 version is also available.
The LPCI-A16-16A is supported for use in most operating systems and includes a DOS, Linux and Windows 95/98/Me/NT/ 2000/XP/2003-compatible software package.
This includes sample programs and source code in C and Pascal for DOS, and Visual Basic, Delphi, C++ Builder, and Visual C++ for Windows.
Also included is a graphical setup program in Windows.
Linux support includes installation files and basic samples for programming from user level via an open source kernel driver.
All hardware comes with a 30-day, no-risk return policy and a three-year warranty.
