AcPC341: Analog Input CompactPCI Board, Simultaneous Conversion
• 16 differential inputs
• ±10V DC input range
• Eight 14-bit A/D converters with simultaneous sample and hold
• 8µS conversion time for 8-channel bank
AcPC341 boards provide fast, high resolution, simultaneous A/D conversion of eight channels.
These boards have sixteen analog inputs which are sampled as two eight-channel banks. Eight A/D converters (ADCs) permit simultaneous conversion of all eight channels in a bank. All 16 channels share two generous 512-sample memory buffers. Conversion of each bank requires only 8µS, and all 16 channels can be sampled in just 16µs.
This board is ideal for high-speed data acquisition. A large memory buffer reduces CPU interactions for increased overall performance.
Flexible configuration options give you extensive control over the conversion process. The channels or bank to be converted, timing, scan mode, and other parameters are user-programmable. Interrupt support adds further control to interrupt upon a programmable threshold when the data in memory exceeds the set threshold.
