PCL-816/816-DA Modular High-resolution Multifunction Card Features § 16-bit resolution A/D converter § High-performance 100 KHz sampling rate § Accepts 16 differential analog inputs with separately programmable gains (x 1, 2, 4 or 8) § Programmable DMA channel § Programmable IRQ level § Metal-shielded A/D module for noise reduction § Auto channel scanning circuit § Versatile language drivers for C/C++, Pascal and BASIC § Optional 16-bit D/A output module Introduction The PCL-816 modular DAS card allows you to choose your own customized data acquisition configuration. Its 100 KHz A/D module offers 16-bit resolution with 16 channels of differential analog input measurement. The A/D module has its own protective cover, ensuring excellent signal shielding and noise immunity. A DB-37 cable connector provides fully-shielded signal connections to the A/D module. In addition to the standard A/D module, the carrier board has two 64-pin piggyback connectors for additional function expansion modules. Accepting most sub-modules, this modular system makes customizing and upgrading easy.
