Data acquisition boards for PC/ATs provide high-resolution I/O
Three multifunction analog, digital, and timing I/O data acquisition
boards are for use in the PC/AT and compatible computers. The first board,
the AT-MIO-64F-5, has 64 single-ended (or 32 differential) analog input
channels with 12-bit resolution; two analog output channels with 12-bit
resolution; eight TTL-compatible digital I/O lines; three 16-bit
counter/timer channels; and 16-bit DMA with single and dual DMA channel
modes. The board has a 200-kHz analog sampling rate and transfers the data
directly to memory using DMA. The second board, the AT-MIO-16X, has a
16-bit A/D converter with up to 16 analog inputs that can be configured as
single-ended, pseudodifferential, or fully differential inputs. This board
also has two independent double-buffered, multiplying 16-bit D/A
converters, eight lines of TTL-compatible digital I/O, and three 16-bit
counter/timer channels. The AT-MIO-16X runs at sustained analog sampling
rates up to 100 kHz. The last board, the AT-MIO-16D, has a 12-bit A/D
converter with 16 single-ended or eight differential channels, two
double-buffered, multiplying, 12-bit D/A converters, 32 lines of
TTL-compatible digital I/O and three 16-bit counter/timer channels. The
sampling rate is 100 kHz. Software supplied with the boards includes
NI-DAQ, the company's library of data acquisition functions for DOS and
Windows applications, and DAQWare, a ready-to-run software system
containing analog, digital, and counter/timer I/O routines. Also available
are two applications software packages–LabVIEW for Windows, a graphical
programming system for PCs or LabWindows for DOS, a development system
with Microsoft C and QuickBASIC-compatible libraries. (AT-MIO-64F-5, $1,
995; AT-MIO-16X, $1,995; AT-MIO-16D, $1,195; LabVIEW for Windows, $995;
LabWindows for DOS, $695–stock.) National Instruments Corp. Austin, TX
