- Yep. It is a dual 12-bit A/D sampling card with on-board CPU for
- data averaging and sample rates of up to 6uS for each A/D. The CPU is a
- MC68HC11F1 running at 3Mhz. It also has a small serial port and direct
- connector access to one of the A/D FIFO buffers, so it can be used (
- by not adding an A/D channel) as an 8 bit data input device (with hand-
- shaking).
