Contec Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nishi-yodogawa-ku, Osaka; President: Akira Ikari) has developed a PCI Express bus-compliant interface card with a high-speed, high-precision multi-channel analog input function and launched it as the Analog G Series, the newest product in the PC-HELPER Series for PC measurement control.
AIO-163202UG-PE
In addition to analog input, this multi-function interface card is equipped with 2 analog output channels, 16 digital inputs and outputs, and 2 counter channels (32-bit). It enables measurement control in a compact, reasonably priced package for systems requiring a variety of signal inputs and outputs.
Applications such as component inspection equipment and measurement testing benches require high-speed data collection over long periods. The DMA bus master transfer function installed in the new product enables continuous sampling for long periods without affecting the device’s maximum conversion speed.
The event controller installed in the new product is able to perform integrated management of the trigger, clock, and status of each signal input/output, and hardware-level synchronous signal input/output control—difficult to achieve at the software level—is possible. In addition, up to 16 devices can be connected via the synchronization connector on the card with a dedicated cable, enabling synchronized operation using the event controller. As a result, it is ideal for applications requiring low latency and real-time performance, such as factory automation and mixed signal testing.
The new product shares the same connector pin assignments as the conventional Analog E Series* and Analog F Series. This also makes it possible to use it with current accessories and user design assets without any modifications.
The new product was designed as a successor to the best-selling Analog E Series, long recognized as a mainstay of PC-based high-performance analog measurement devices. Using the conversion cable (DT-G2E-16/DT-G2E-32) also makes it possible to use the same connector pin assignments as the Analog E Series, allowing for the use of Analog E Series accessories and user design assets without any modifications. The Analog G Series also shares the same connector pin assignments as the Analog F Series for use as upward-compatible devices, which makes it possible to use it with current accessories and user design assets without any modifications.
The DMA bus master transfer function enables continuous sampling for long periods without affecting the device’s maximum conversion speed. When analog input data is transferred using the bus master transfer function, simultaneous transferring of various data is also possible, including analog output, digital input, digital output, and counter data synchronized with analog input clock signals. This makes the product ideal for component inspection equipment and measurement testing benches that require high-speed data acquisition over long periods.
The built-in event controller enables integrated management of the triggers and statuses of each signal input and output, enabling hardware-level synchronization control of signal inputs and outputs. As a result, the product is ideal for factory automation and mixed-signal testing applications requiring low-latency, real-time responsiveness.
Synchronized operation of up to 16 devices is possible with no need for external wiring or clock synchronization. Simply connect the devices via the synchronization connector and a dedicated cable to enable synchronized operation using the event controller. Synchronized operation is also possible with other Contec devices featuring a synchronization connector (such as the DIO-32DM3-PE and CNT-3208M-PE).
Choose from a wide selection of expansion modules offering various functions such as buffer amplification (operational amplification), simultaneous sampling (sample/hold amplification), thermocouple input, gain amplification, and low-pass filtering. Various wiring accessories are also available, including BNC terminal blocks, screw terminal blocks, and noise-resistant cables.
