PCI-DAS1602 Series From $799
High Speed PCI-Bus Compatible Multifunction Boards

 PCI-DAS1200

The PCI-DAS1602 multifunction analog and digital I/O boards set the new standard for high speed data acquisition boards on the PCI-bus. Installed in any PCI-bus compatible personal computer, the PCI-DAS1602 turns your personal computer into a high speed data acquisition and control station suitable for laboratory data collection, instrumentation, production test or industrial monitoring.

Two versions of the PCI-DAS1602 are available; the PCI-DAS1602-12 and the PCI-DAS1602-16. The PCI-DAS1602-12 features 12-bit analog input and output resolution and 330 KHz sample rate. The PCI-DAS1602-16 features 16-bit analog input and output resolution and 200 KHz sample rate.

FIFO Provides Full Data Rate Under Windows
The on-board FIFO buffer collects the results of A/D conversions and stores then until the computer's CPU is able to transfer the data into PC memory. The FIFO buffer allows the PC to store up the A/D transfer requests, then service the requests in batches. The FIFO is necessary to obtain the full data acquisition rates under multitasking operating systems like windows The PCI-DAS 1602-12 has a 1024 sample, FIFO and the PCI-DAS1602-16 has a 512 sample FIFO.

Minimizing Channel to Channel Skew
All of the channels on the PCI-DAS1602 are multiplexed into a single A/D converter. Since there is only one A/D converter on the board, a channel to channel time skew (delay) occurs when scanning multiple channels. With many A/D boards, the time skew is equal to the sample rate, so a 1 KHz sample rate would produce a 1 millisecond skew time. The PCI-DAS1602-12 features an enhance triggering mode called the burst mode. In the bust mode, the A/D converter is run at its maximum rate for the entire multi-channel scan, thus reducing the channel to channel skew time to the maximum A/D rate which is 5╡S for the 1PCI-DAS1602-16 and 3╡S for the PCI-DS1602-12.

Connector
All I/O signals are brought through a 100-pin high-density connector. Field wiring is greatly simplified by using the optional C100-FF2 cable and CIO-TERM100 screw terminal board.

Software
The PCI-DAS1602 includes a complete test and calibration program. The program provides a step-by-step procedure for installing and configuring the card. It also creates a configuration file used by the optional Universal Library.

The Universal Library is a set of I/O libraries and drivers for those users creating their own custom programs. The Universal Library is compatible with most DOS and Windows based languages and supports the entire CIO family of boards. The library includes an extensive set of programming examples written in Visual Basic, C and Pascal for both Windows and DOS languages.

An optional driver for LabView is also available. The LabView driver works in conjunction with the Universal Library, so both are needed to use the PCI-DAS1602 in LabView.
