PowerDAQ is the next generation multifunction analog and digital I/O board for the PCI bus. The PowerDAQ boards have been developed with new 'clean' 32-bit drivers for Windows95 and Windows NT, hence no legacy code.

The PowerDAQ series is designed around a 'processor based' 24-bit 66 MHz Motorola 56301 PCI DSP interface. This design allows the user to offload the host CPU data acquisition functions to the onboard DSP thus giving the user the power of two CPUs in one PC.

Each PowerDAQ multifunction board is comprised of four subsystems, Analog Input, Analog Output, Digital I/O and Counter/Timers. PowerDAQ technology allows all the subsystems to run simultaneously and/or independently with one or multiple boards in the same PC. You can start and stop multiple subsystems as required. The PowerDAQ-based boards all feature extensive hardware and software triggering. Data transfer methods include slave mode and bus mastering operation. Several different models of the PowerDAQ boards are available. The models differ in resolution, speed, input range and number of channels.

Software
The PowerDAQ includes a comprehensive software suite provided at no additional charge. The suite consists of a menu driven quick start application for quick and easy operation without programming, a software development kit (SDK) for custom user program creation under Windows 95/98/NT and software drivers for a large variety of off-the-shelf applications. The quick start application provides data collection, graphical display of the data, and datalogging in a format compatible with most spreadsheets and other post acquisition software packages.

The PowerDAQ SDK supports Visual C++, Visual Basic and Delphi.

PowerDAQ Boards are also compatible with a variety of off-the-shelf data acquisition application programs. The drivers for the following packages are provided at no charge:

HP VEE
TestPoint
LabVIEW for Windows
LabWindows/CVI
Dasylab
