PCI DAQ Board Samples at 500 KHz

Operating at a sampling rate of 500 kHz, the PCI-based DT3034 data-acquisition board offers 16-bit measurements via as many as 32 single-ended or 16 differential channels. Compliant with RoHS regulations, the board specifies an ENOB rating under worst-case conditions of 14.2 bits and an SFDR of 100 dB. Reportedly, it can operate multiple subsystems simultaneously at full speed without the loss of any data. Other features include two 16-bit d/a converters for deglitched waveform generation at 500 kHz, 16 digital I/O lines, and four 16-bit counter/timers. The board comes with the Omni CD, which contains comprehensive software that includes DT-Open Layers for the .NET Class Library. Additionally, device drivers for Windows 2000/XP, an evaluation version of DT Measure Foundry, and several other ready to measure applications are included at no charge. Single-unit price is $1,589.
