16-Bit PCI Board Samples Four Channels Simultaneously

Suitable for a wide range of signal processing and data recording applications, the PCI-416M PCI board derives its processing power from, among other things, a 32-bit architecture and four simultaneously sampling channels. The four-channel analog input board was designed with an emphasis on continuous, non-stop, high-speed streaming of A/D samples to host memory or disk and is said to exhibit excellent harmonic distortion specs and to perform well in DSP/FFT applications. The board's four 16-bit input channels with ±10V input range in a single-ended configuration can be simultaneously sampled at a rate of up to 200 kHz/channel. And a "banked" FIFO architecture allows PCI-416M to move two A/D words in each 32-bit PCI transfer. The board also includes an on-board programmable 24-bit parallel I/O and analog (A/D) threshold trigger and is well-suited for use with Windows.
