The PCI-DAS1602/16 is a multifunction measurement and control board designed for the PCI bus. This board can be used for applications such as data acquisition, system timing, and industrial process control.
The PCI-DAS1602/16 board is completely plug and play, with no switches, jumpers or potentiometers to set. All board addresses and interrupt sources are set with software. You calibrate the board with software that uses programmable on-board digital potentiometers and trim D/A converters.
Analog input ranges are selectable via software as bipolar or unipolar. Bipolar input ranges are ±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V and ±1.25 V. Unipolar input ranges are 0 to 10 V, 0 to 5 V, 0 to 2.5 V and 0 to 1.25 V. The PCI- DAS1602/16 has an analog trigger input. The trigger level and direction are software configurable.
The PCI-DAS1602/16 board has two 82C54 counter chips. Each chip contains three 16-bit down counters that provide clock, gate, and output connections.
