Data Translation Product Handbook
The Data Translation Product Handbook 2001 is a 280-page catalogue that describes the company's complete line of data acquisition, imaging and machine vision products.
The DT3010-268 has all the features and benefits of the popular DT3010, but instead of having one 68-pin and one 50-pin connector, the new board has two standard 68-pin connectors.
This connection scheme gives OEMs and end users a more convenient way to design-in Data Translationûs data acquisition board products.
Additionally, the DT3010-268 adds a clock/trigger enable line that provides more control and flexibility to the external a/d timing circuitry.
This feature also allows users to repeat the function via external hardware control.
The flexible triggering modes and trigger events allow users to acquire data using post-trigger mode, pre-trigger mode, or about-trigger mode.
The trigger event can be a digital trigger, a dedicated analogue trigger, or one of the analogue input channels.
Such capabilities enable users to focus on the region of interest and eliminate unnecessary utilisation of the CPU or system memory.
The board is ideal for applications requiring a few high-speed inputs or a large number of medium-speed channels.
For example, ultrasonic nondestructive testing and engine testing can take advantage of the few channel/high input speed configurations.
Automotive crash testing and process monitoring can take advantage of the many input channels at medium speeds.
Distinguishing features of DT3010-268 include: 32 single-ended or 16 differential analogue inputs; 16 digital I/O channels; the facility for simultaneous analogue input and output at full speed; and two dynamic digital outputs.
Included free with the board is Data Translation's Omni CD software support bundle, which includes Quick DataAcq, a menu-driven, ready-to-run application; DataAcq SDK, a software development kit; TestPoint, an object-oriented, drag-and-drop software demo and run-time application; Scope instrument menu-driven application; evaluation versions of TestPoint and VEE Pro 6.0 with MATLAB Script; and 32bit Windows 98, 2000 and ME device drivers.
The DT3010-268 is available immediately at a cost of £1695.00.
