Measurement Computing's PCI-DAS1602/16 multifunction analog and digital I/O board sets a standard for high-speed, high-resolution data acquisition on the PCI-bus. Offering 16 single-ended or 8 differential 16-bit analog inputs with sample rates up to 200 kS/s, 24 high-current digital I/O lines, three 16-bit down counters. The PCI-DAS1602/16 has an analog trigger input with trigger levels and direction selectable by software, and offers two FIFO buffered 16-bit analog outputs with 100 kS/s maximum update rates.
The PCI-DAS1602/16 is completely plug-and-play. There are no switches, jumpers or potentiometers on the board. All board addresses, interrupt channels etc. are set by your computer's plug-and-play software. Even calibration is performed via software by using on-board digital potentiometers and trim D/A converters.
"When we started designing these systems, we needed to locate a robust data acquisition unit that we could trust, have multiple inputs and a simple but effective software interface and a reasonable price." Michael Gray, Precia Molen
"We have used MCC devices for many years on any number of different projects, from pile testing to seismic tests, and we've always been more than satisified with their performance. This was the natural choice for us." Stephen Kemp, Manager, GBG Structural Services
