Easy data acquisition migration from ISA
to PCI
A new multi-function measurement and control board for PCI PCs retains the same connector type and pin output of earlier ISA designs, making it easy to migrate designs from ISA to PCI
For integrated data acquisition systems, a new board from Measurement Computing ensures compatibility across systems for easy migration from ISA to PCI Measurement Computing Corporation (formerly ComputerBoards) is continuing to innovate in every area of its data acquisition board range, and being aware of needs of OEM users of data acquisition boards, who need the ability to update to newer bus technologies while avoiding unnecessary re-design work, they have produced the new PCIM-DAS 1602/16 board

This board is a multi-function measurement and control board designed to operate in computers with PCI Bus accessory slots, and it retains the same connector type and pin output of the established CIO-DAS 1602/16, making it easy to migrate designs from ISA to PCI without being forced to change connected hardware or cabling.
It even uses a standard 37 way D-type connector.
All of this enables users to retain all the benefits of PCI: easier install, I/O address and interrupts allocated automatically; and being backwards compatible, the use of this board enables a smoother transition to the new data acquisition system as the old hardware can be used without connector changes.
Software compatibility is also assured with the Universal Library, which provides a common set of functions that can be called from C, visual Basic, Delphi and LabVIEW.
Universal Library means full software compatibility with the CIO-DAS1602/16.
UL provides a common set of functions that can be called from C, VB, Delphi or LabVIEW.
PCIM-DAS1602/16 features 8 differential/16 single-ended 16bit inputs 160KHz sample rate, burst mode, 2 12bit analogue outputs, 3 counters and 32 digital I/O. Request a free brochure from Adept Scientific ...
