The PCI-DAS4020/12 is an ultra high speed, analog input board for PCI bus computers. It provides four, 12-bit analog inputs with sample rates up to 20 MHz, 24 bits of digital I/O, and two, 12-bit analog outputs.
Central to the board is a powerful System Timing Controller (STC) chip. The STC controls all A/D sampling including a 64-Ksample A/D FIFO. This functionality is based on the STC use of an on-board 32K x 24 SRAM. The board provides bus-mastering and scatter-gather functionality to assure the desired system timing is maintained.
The PCI-DAS4020/12 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
