Overview / Features

This product is a multi-function, PCI bus compliant interface board that incorporates high-precision analog inputs, high- precision analog outputs, digital inputs, digital outputs, and a counter function. The board includes an event controller for integrated management of control signals by hardware and a bus master data transfer function for transferring large volumes of data at high speed. Together, these features provide all you need to build a high-performance PC-based measurement and control system. Windows/Linux device driver is supported with this product.

• The event controller can be used to implement a wide range of different sampling control schemes

  • The board incorporates an event controller for integrated hardware control. The event controller can use the external control signals and the events generated by the board functions to start and stop analog input operation and perform clock control. This enables high-precision synchronization of the various board functions without requiring software. Also, each function can be operated separately.
• Bus master transfer function and combined data I/O function

  • Bus master data transfer can be used for the analog inputs and outputs either separately or at the same time. This can be used to transfer large volumes of data between the board and PC without placing a load on the CPU. When using bus master data transfer for analog input data, you can also transfer the analog output, digital input, digital output, and counter data at the same time synchronized with the analog input clock signal. This function ensures reliable data synchronization in the systems you implement.
• Buffer memory available for background processing independent of software

  • The analog inputs and outputs each have their own buffer memory which can be used when not using bus master transfer. You can also perform analog input and output in the background, independent of software and the current status of the PC.
• Software-based adjustment function

  • Adjustment of analog input can be all performed by software. Apart from the adjustment information prepared before shipment, additional adjustment information can be stored according to the use environment
• Filter function for easy connection of external signals

  • The digital input signals, counter input signals, and the external control signals for analog I/O incorporate a digital filter to prevent problems such as chattering.
• Windows/Linux support device driver

  • Using the device driver API-TOOL makes it possible to create applications of Windows/Linux. In addition, a diagnostic program by which the operations of hardware can be checked is provided.
