Amplifier Board Features Programmable Gain

This amplifier board is designed to accept up to 16 differential inputs with programmable ac or dc input coupling and provides 16 single-ended outputs. Each channel of PGA-16 board can be independently configured for one of 11 gain settings of 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 or 1000. Compatible with any PC-based data acquisition board, the board can also be used directly to drive the high-impedance inputs typically found on most data acquisition boards. Inputs can range from dc to 200 kHz, and a slew rate of 9V/µs handles high-bandwidth signals. PGA-16 card is programmable through the ISA bus and is available with a comprehensive selection of software: Windows 3.1/95/NT; DOS menu-driven and driver software for controlling key functions; language support for C, Visual C++, Visual Basic and Pascal; and LabVIEW driver that includes a Virtual Instrument library.
