Overview

By adopting synchronous parallel design, four high-speed 100ksps 16bit ADC and four independent programmable gain channel composed of high speed precise operational amplifier and precise attenuation filter network are integrated into the card to achieve an voltage signal acquisition range from ±100mV to ±20V; Gain errors and zero-bias of each channel can be removed independently by DAQ controller’s fine tuning which facilitates this product with high measurement accuracy and phase consistency. No manual adjustable component insures the high reliability and stability of the product.

Analog Input

Maximum sampling rate of PCI4516 A/D is 100ksps. Each channel can separately control the gain setting with a range from ±100mV to ±20V. Card integrates 256KB FIFO, and conducts series data record. The memory depth is only limited by hard disc of user. The specially designed ring buffer facilitates pre-trigger sampling function, which is suitable for signal recording of transience process of engineering. Delay of pre-trigger and post-trigger samples can cover the maximum period.

Triggering Sources

PCI4516 has many triggering sources, including software (manual), internal and external triggering. Internal triggering level can be set up freely within current range with options of triggering condition of rising edge, falling edge, internal dual-threshold, external dual-threshold; external signal compiles TTL level standard that may choose rising edge or falling edge is effective. Through setting multiple triggering modes, accurate capture of various characteristic signals can be guaranteed.

Digital Output

32-channel TTL level Digital I/O (16 DIs and 16 DOs) has been put into PCI4516 design, which can be used for digital quantity measurement and control within users’ system.

Clock Synchronization

The Acquisition card has designed the independent time base and the clock controller. While cascading multiple acquisition of system, each card may have different sampling rate. The trigger lines and clock lines of each board cascade through local bus connecter. Under the control of the unified clock source and triggering bus, several acquisition cards can integrate a full-synchronized system.

Dynamic Upgrade

PCI4516 adopts a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) facilitating a high integrity and reliability. Acquisition controller (DAQCore) is dynamically downloaded from PCI bus interface when needed, and the acquisition card supports remote upgrade service by a latter design, which meets the special demands of testing-function and time-sequence for the customer.
