104-AIO16A and 104-AIO16E16-Bit, 16-Channel, PC/104 Multifunction Analog I/O Boards

The 104-AIO16A is supported for use in most operating systems and includes a free DOS, Linux and Windows 95/98/Me/NT/ 2000/XP/2003 compatible software package. This contains sample programs and source code in "C" and Pascal for DOS, and Visual Basic, Delphi, C++ Builder, and Visual C++ for Windows. Also included is a graphical setup program in Windows. Linux support includes installation files and basic samples for programming from any user level via an open source kernel driver.

Available accessories include a wide variety of cables and screw terminal boards for quick and easy connectivity.

Analog to digital conversion starts or A/D starts are issued one of three ways: Software Start, Timer Start, or External Trigger Start. A/D starts are software configured to be either rising or falling edge. Additionally, A/D starts are software configured to be Single Channel or Scan. Single Channel samples data once from the next consecutive channel within the enabled set. A Scan samples data from all channels within the set at the fastest possible rate.

The 104-AIO16A features 10 standard analog input ranges. The module also offers on-board hardware oversampling for additional noise reduction. In addition to direct data transfers, the boards ability to trigger the A/D in real time assures synchronized sampling that is unaffected by other computer operationsan essential requirement for signal, vibration and transient analysis where high data rates must be sustained for short periods of time. The A/D is supported by a 1024-sample FIFO (optional 2, 4k samples) for reducing processor overhead. Sixteen parallel bits of digital I/O and two 12-bit DAC outputs allow for a complete, high-performance data acquisition solution.
