CIO-DAS16/330I from $799
Very High Speed A/D Board for IBM or Compatibles (ISA Bus)

• Blazing Fast Analog Input of 330KHz Continuous to Memory or RAM Disk with Sample Size Limited Only By the Size of Memory or RAM Disk

• Pre-Trigger and Post-Trigger Buffers

• Programmable 256 Step Channel/Gain Queue

• Two Complete iSBX Expansion Connectors Allow the Addition of Digital I/O Counters, and Analog Output

The CIO-DAS16/330i multifunction analog and digital I/O board is designed to be a modern improvement upon the traditional DAS-16 architecture with higher speed and additional features, all at a lower cost.

Beyond the 64K Barrier
The CIO-DAS16/330i acquires sample sets of greater than 32K samples (64KB of memory) by employing advanced instructions; just as do LAN and hard disk controllers. Although transfers to array variables are still limited to 64KB, samples may be streamed to data files far in excess of 64K using the free streaming software supplied.

Two Modes
On power up, the CIO-DAS16/330i is software compatible with the older, original architecture shared by the DAS-16. In this mode all old DAS-16 type software runs and the new advanced registers are invisible to the PC bus. Set one special control bit and supercharge the CIO-DAS16/330i! In special mode, a new set of registers open up that allow A/D transfers up to 330KHz, and pre/post trigger buffers.

Analog Inputs
The analog input section of the CIO-DAS16/330i has been designed for high speed, flexibility and accuracy in a number of configurations and ranges. The analog signals are brought on board by a standard 37 pin D connector directly to two multiplexors. The two multiplexors may be configured as 16 channels of single ended input or 8 channels of differential input. Differential inputs can reject noise and ground loops (common mode voltages) but require a 3 wire hookup as opposed to 2. Input ranges are: +/- 10 V, +/- 5 V, +/- 2.5 V, +/- 1.25 V, +/- 0.625 V, 0 to 10 V, 0 to 5 V, 0 to 2.5 V and 0 to 1.25 V.

Simultaneous Sample and Hold
Capture 16 channels simultaneously with less than 50 ns of aperture uncertainty at 130 kHz. The CIO-SSH16 expands the CIO-DAS16-330i's 16 single ended, multiplexed inputs into 16 fully differential inputs with individual, switch selectable gains of up to 800 on every channel. No software modifications are required to realize the benefits of simultaneous sample and hold.

Software
A test and setup software is provided called Instacal, which allows immediate verification, setup and calibration. An optional driver is available called UNIV-DRVR for $49, for programming in Dos and Windows with programs such as C , Visual Basic and other popular languages.
