ADLINK Announces High-Speed 64-Channel Data Acquisition Solution.Business Editors and High-Tech Writers IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 2002 Also Provides Bipolar/Unipolar Analog Input Refers to hardware interfaces that accept non-digital signals. For decades, all the plugs and sockets on traditional audio and video equipment connected analog lines (see illustration below). , Analog and Digital Trigger, Automatic Calibration, and Multiple Card Synchronization Capability ADLINK Technology Inc., the leading supplier of open-platform PC based measurement and automation equipment, today introduced the DAQ-2200 series, the 32 bit PCI bus PCI bus - Peripheral Component Interconnect 64 channel high-speed multi-function data acquisition cards. All cards within the DAQ-2200 series can sample up to 64-channel analog signal An analog or analogue signal is any time continuous signal where some time varying feature of the signal is a representation of some other time varying quantity. It differs from a digital signal in that small fluctuations in the signal are meaningful. with different gain setting and scan sequence, allowing the cards to handle high-density analog signal with various input range and sampling speed. DAQ-2200 series features 64 channels single-ended or 32 channels differential analog input with sampling rate from 250KS/s to 3MS/s and resolution from 12-bit to 16-bit. The DAQ-2200 series can sample the channels in any order at the maximum conversion rate. Each channel can be configured with a different gain, uni-polar or bipolar, single-ended or differential while the information is stored in the channel gain queue, allowing DAQ-2200 to measure fast and slow, large and small signals with maximum flexibility. Similar to its predecessor, the DAQ-2000 series, DAQ-2200 also features analog and digital triggering, automatic calibration, simultaneously input and output operations, and multiple card synchronization. In addition to the high-speed analog input feature, DAQ-2200 is also equipped with two 1MS/s 12-bit analog output channels. The analog output can be pacer clock controlled and the data transfer can be done through software I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output update or bus-master DMA (1) (Digital Media Adapter) See digital media hub. (2) (Document Management Alliance) A specification that provides a common interface for accessing and searching document databases. , which enables waveform generation through the use of the D/A D/A See: Documents Against Acceptance output function. Other than the PCI bus version, DAQ-2200 series can be easily upgraded to PXI (PCI EXtensions for Instrumentation) A peripheral bus specialized for data acquisition and real time control systems. Introduced in 1997, PXI uses the CompactPCI 3U and 6U form factors and adds trigger lines, a local bus and other functions suited for measurement and CompactPCI form factors. By taking the advantage of Carrier/Daughter modular design In the context of systems engineering, modular design — or "modularity in design" — is an approach aiming to subdivide a system into smaller parts (modules) that can be independently created and then used in different systems to drive multiple functionalities. , the upgrade is done by simply changing the DAQ-2000 PCI bus carrier to the PXI bus carrier; the high performance daughter module can also be reused within the DAQ-2200 family of cards.
