Overview / Features
This product is a PCI bus supported board that extends the analog signal output functions of a PC. Equipped with four channels of 16-bit analog output, the product is an individual isolation model using a D/A converter for each channel to provide isolation for the bus line with PC and between channels. The voltage/current output range (voltage : ±10V, 0 - +10V; current : 0 - 20mA) can be set by jumper for each channel. This product can generate signals that are synchronized with the
internal timer or an external clock. Windows/Linux device driver is supported with this product.
-
Analog output 4ch, 16bit-resolution, conversion speed 20µsec
- This product has the Analog output (4ch, 16bit, 20µsec). Additionally, the voltage/current output range (voltage : ±10V, 0 - +10V, current : 0 - 20mA) can be set by jumper for each channel.
-
PC bus line, opto-coupler isolation between channels
- The opto-couplers mounted for each channel provide electric isolation between channels as well as between the inside of the board (PC) and output pins.
-
Simultaneous output of voltage to a specified channel or all channels
- This product can generate output voltage either for a specified channel only or for all of the channels simultaneously. This can be selected or set by device driver function.
-
Control of generating start/stop can be selected by an external trigger or other factor
- Control of generating start can be selected by software or an external trigger. Control of generating start and control of generating stop are independent from each other; therefore, they can be set separately. Control of generating stop can be selected by completion of a specified number of sessions or an external trigger. In addition, when an error occurs, generating is stopped, regardless of the settings for generating stop conditions. A generating cycle can be selected from the internal clock (high precision timer mounted on the board) or an external clock (control signal entered from outside).
-
Relay provided to control output voltage
- The mounted relay prevents unstable output voltage from being generated upon power-up. This protects the connected devices from damage and malfunction, as the output voltage for all the channels is generated via the relay.
-
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.
