16AO64C


Overview

16-Bit, 64/32-Channel, 500KSPS PCIe Analog Output Board (Chirp Generator)

The PCIe-16AO64C board from General Standards provides precision 16-bit high-speed analog output capability for PMC applications.

The 64 analog output channels offer either single-ended or balanced differential output ranges of ±10V and ±5V, or optionally 0 to +10V and 0 to +5V, and can be clocked simultaneously at rates up to 500 KSPS (Kilosamples per second) per channel. Both continuous and burst clocking modes are supported, and voltage ranges are software-selectable as ±10V or ±5V; or optionally as 0 to +10V or 0 to +5V.

Clocking and triggering rates can be derived from an internal rate generator, or from external clock and trigger sources to support the synchronous operation of multiple boards. When equipped with the optional outputs-disconnect feature, the outputs can be disconnected from the system I/O connector under software control.

Extended temperature versions are available, as are free Windows and Linux drivers.

Typical Applications
Precision Voltage Array
Servo Control
Waveform Synthesis
High Density Outputs
Process Control
Industrial Robotics
