概要・特点

The product is a PCI Express-compliant data acquisition (DAQ) device with high-speed, high precision, multi-channel analog input functionality. In addition to analog input, this multi-function device is equipped with digital input/output, and a counter, enabling measurement control in a compact, reasonably priced package for systems requiring a variety of signal inputs and outputs. The DMA bus master transfer function also enables continuous sampling for long periods without affecting the device’s maximum conversion speed. This makes the product ideal for component inspection equipment and measurement testing benches that require high-speed data acquisition over long periods. In addition, thanks to the event controller’s ability to perform hardware-level integrated management of the trigger, clock, and status of each signal input/output, synchronous signal input/output control—difficult to achieve at the software level—is possible. As a result, the product is ideal for factory automation and mixed-signal testing applications requiring low-latency, real-time responsiveness.

• High-performance, multifunction single DAQ device with analog input and digital input/output and counter functions

  • This high-performance multi-function device includes 64 single-ended 16-bit analog inputs (32 differential channels) as well as 8 digital inputs and outputs and a 32-bit counter channel. The product enables measurement control in a compact, reasonably priced package for systems requiring a variety of signal inputs and outputs.
• DMA bus master transfer function for high-speed, continuous sampling

  • The DMA bus master transfer function, which allows data to be directly transferred to the PC memory, enables continuous sampling for long periods without affecting the device’s maximum conversion speed. When analog input data is transferred using the bus master transfer function, simultaneous transferring of various data is also possible, including digital input, digital output, and counter data synchronized with analog input clock signals. This makes the product ideal for component inspection equipment and measurement testing benches that require high-speed data acquisition over long periods.
• Built-in event controller for advanced synchronization control

  • The built-in event controller enables integrated management of the triggers and statuses of each signal input and output, enabling hardware-level synchronization control of signal inputs and outputs. As a result, the product is ideal for factory automation and mixed-signal testing applications requiring low-latency, real-time responsiveness.
• Synchronized operation of up to 16 devices (connection via synchronization control connector)

  • Synchronized operation of up to 16 devices is possible with no need for external wiring or clock synchronization. Simply connect the devices via the synchronization control connector and a dedicated cable to enable synchronized operation using the event controller. Synchronized operation is also possible with other Contec devices featuring a synchronization control connector (such as the DIO-32DM3-PE and CNT-3208M-PE).
• Jumper-less, trim-less configuration (software configuration)

  • Software-based configuration of input range, accuracy calibration, and digital filtering settings is possible while the product is installed on the computer.
    - Analog input range settings: ±10V, ±5V, ±2.5V 0 - +10V, 0 - +5V, 0 - +2.5V
    - Analog input calibration settings: Factory default or user preset
    - Digital filtering setting (external trigger/clock, digital input, counter): 0 to 16000μs
• Interface connector shape and signal pin assignments compatible with the AD16-64(LPCI)LA, AI-1664LA-LPE, and AI-1664LAX-USB

  • This device is functionally upward compatible with nearly identical functions as the PCI-compatible AD16-64(LPCI)LA card, the PCIExpress-compatible AI-1664LA-LPE card, and the USB-compatible AI-1664LAX-USB unit with conversion speeds of 1 μsec/ch as well as bus master transfers. The connector shape and signal pin assignments are also compatible, enabling easy migration from a conventional system.
