The PCI-DAS1200 multifunction analog and digital I/O boards set the new standard for low cost, high speed data acquisition boards on the PCI-bus. Offering 16 single-ended or 8 differential 12-bit analog inputs with sample rates up to 330 KHz, two 12-bit analog outputs and 24 bits of digital I/O, the PCI-DAS1200 offers performance equal to or superior to boards costing up to 50% more.
Installed in any PCI-bus compatible personal computer the PCI-DAS1200 turns your personal computer into a high speed data acquisition and control station suitable for laboratory data collection, instrumentation, production test, or industrial monitoring.
FIFO Provides Full Data Rate Under Windows
The on-board 1024 sample FIFO buffer collects the results of A/D conversions
and stores them 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.
Minimizing Channel to Channel Skew
All of the channels on the
PCI-DAS1200 are multiplexed into a single A/D converter. Since there is only
one A/D converter on the board, a channel to channel skew time (delay) occurs
when scanning multiple channels. With many A/D boards, the skew time is equal
to the sample rate, so a 1 KHz sample ate would produce a 1 millisecond skew
time. The PCI-DAS1200 features an enhanced triggering mode called the burst
mode. In the burst 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 3 uS
Software
The PCI-DAS1200 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 PCI and 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-DAS1200 in LabView.
