16-Bit PCI Card Integrates DAQ And Motion Control

Billed as a low-cost, multi-function, 16-bit data-acquisition (DAQ) card, the PCI-9221 delivers a sampling rate up to 250 ksamples/s. It provides programmable I/O supporting digital I/O (TTL), general-purpose timer/counters, motor encoder inputs, and PWM outputs for simple motion control. It is the company's first card to combine data acquisition and motion control. Other features include two 16-bit analog outputs and a single button auto-calibration feature. The card comes with a WDM driver for C/C++, VB, Delphi, C++ Builder, and .NET programming languages plus device drivers for MATLAB and LabVIEW.
