Contec DA12-8(PCI) Manual

Digital to Analog Output Board for PCI
8ch type
DA12-8(PCI)
* Specifications, color and design of the products are subject to
change without notice.
Features
Support for unipolar and bipolar output ranges
An output range can be set for each channel by software.
Two output modes selectable
This product offers a choice of two output modes selectable.
One updates only the output voltage of a specified channel and
the other updates the output voltages of all channels.
Capable of updating the output voltage using a sampling
clock
This product can update the output voltage periodically using
the internal sampling clock or in synchronization with external
events using an external sampling clock.
Safety design to adjust output voltage to 0V when power
supply is turned on
To prevent the unstable voltage and the connected device of
D/A converter from fault and malfunctions when the power
supply is turned on, the circuit is designed to adjusts output
voltage of the analog output to 0V.
Optional units
Using optional units facilitates connections.
For more details on the option, please refer to "Cable &
Connector" or "Accessories (Option)".
DA12-8(PCI)
This product is a PCI bus-compliant interface boards that
performs digital-to-analog conversion.
This product performs D-A conversion using 8 output channels
at a conversion speed of 10 sec [100KSPS] and a resolution
of 12 bit.
Using the bundled driver library [API-PAC (W32)], you can
create Windows application software for this board in your
favorite programming language supporting Win32 API
functions, such as Visual Basic or Visual C++.

*1 A linearity error approximately 0.1 of full-range may occur when operated at 0C or
50C ambient temperature.
*2 The minimum clock speed actually available depends on the OS and driver.
*3 This product requires +5V power supply from the expansion slot (it does not work in a
+3.3V environment).
*4 DA12-8(PCI): If the board No. is 7184, PCI bus specification is 32bit, 33MHz, 5V.
*5 Boards with different board numbers are different in these specifications.
