New Contec Analog L Series Offer 16 Analog Output Channels

May 24, 2006 - CONTEC, a leading manufacturer of computer peripheral equipments, industrial computers and network devices, today announced the CONTEC DA16-16(LPCI)L and DA16-8(LPCI)L, the newest members of the low-cost and multi-functional L Series that comply with Low Profile PCI. The new two boards include 16 (or 8) analog output channels and 16-bit high-precision D/A converter.

Product name Channel Model
Low Profile PCI-compliant
High-precision Analog Output
16 ch DA16-16(LPCI)L
8 ch DA16-8(LPCI)L

DA16-16(LPCI)L DA16-8(LPCI)L

CONTEC provides both two devices with its program development driver software for Windows/Linux (API). Users can also download the supported software, MATLAB-compliant ML-DAQ and LabVIEW-compliant VI-DAQ at CONTEC website for free.

DA16-16(LPCI)L and DA16-8(LPCI)L has been certified as Phase 2 lead-free as defined by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association).



Features

  • 16 analog output channels [DA16-16(LPCI)L], 8 analog output channels [DA16-8(LPCI)L]
  • 3 control signals, 4 TTL digital inputs, 4 TTL digital outputs, 32-bit TTL 1 channel counter
  • Onboard control mechanism provides timed output that can be synchronized with external signals.
  • Adjustment can be done via software, requires no trimmer setting, capable of recognizing any adjustment information that is different from that set at the factory. This allows for optimum settings for individual applications.
  • Compatible with Low Profile size slot and Standard-size slot (Bracket included)
  • Provides ML-DAQ library for The MathWork's MATLAB and VI-DAQ for National Instrument's LabVIEW that can be downloaded at CONTEC website for free.
