    1.6 Description Instrutech Corporation is proud to introduce the ITC-1600, expandable 16-bit data acquisition system. The ITC-1600 is not only a product of our historical commitment to designing high resolution, low-noise scientific data acquisition systems, but also a technological leap forward. The ITC-1600 utilizes the newest fiber optic and digital signal processing technologies, in addition to many of the exceptional features of its predecessors the ITC-16 and ITC-18.
  • Page 11 ITC-1600 U ’ NSTRUTECH ORPORATION ANUAL asynchronous “telegraphing” ADC channels are available for monitoring slow changing parameters. The eight analog input channels are separated into two banks of four. Each bank is multiplexed into one 16-bit 200kHz A/D converter. Both A/D converters sample simultaneously and synchronously at the maximum conversion rate resulting in a total throughput of 400kHz.

    ±40 volts. Do not exceed this level or damage can result to the input circuitry. Status LED’s Power indicator: The power indicator will be illuminated when the ITC-1600 has been powered on.
  • Page 14 A 4mm banana receptacle provides connection to the internal analog ground. This low noise ground is provided for connecting to the measuring device. This ground connection is not connected to the ITC-1600 case or to the computer power supply ground. If desired, the user should provide an external connection between the case and the instrument rack.

    A BNC connector provides access to the external trigger input. A TTL trigger pulse can be given to start data acquisition. The ITC-1600 will be triggered with a positive logic pulse with a minimum duration of 150ns. This input is optically isolated from the computer.
  • Page 16 ITC-1600 U ’ NSTRUTECH ORPORATION ANUAL Digital Outputs: Dual 37 pin stacked DB female connectors provide thirty-two 3.3 Volt logic digital outputs for triggering external devices. All digital outputs are fully synchronous with the analog I/O and are under software control. Top connector provides access for bits 0 to15, bottom for 16 to 31.

    2- Ready light not illuminated. The ready light is illuminated once the application program has successfully initialized the ITC-1600 hardware. The ITC-1600 cannot be properly initialized if the device driver or the application software is not properly installed. Check the cable connections between the PCI-1600 host interface and the I-1600.
