Analog-Output Boards are suited for waveform generation.

Press Release Summary:



With output settling times of 10 µsec to 0.03% FS, RCO series D/A boards offer fine 16-bit resolution combined with max update rate of 100 kHz and max noise of ±2 least significant bits. They can transfer data via programmed I/O, interrupts, or PCI bus-mastering direct memory access and include 64 ksample deep programmable FIFO buffer. Units also incorporate two 20 MHz, 16-bit counter/timers and 6 TTL-level digital inputs.

D/A Boards Ideal For Waveform Generation


New RCO series analog-output boards from CyberResearch® were designed and built with waveform generation in mind. These boards offer fine 16-bit resolution combined with a maximum update rate of 100 kHz and maximum noise of only ±2 least significant bits. They include a programmable FIFO buffer 64 ksamples deep.

Theoretically, almost any analog output board can be used for waveform generation. But not all D/A boards make it easy for programmers to produce accurate, repeatable waveforms. Starting with the basics, RCO boards from CyberResearch, Inc. boast short output settling times: only 10 µs to 0.03% of full scale They combine that with a resolution of 16 bits, or 1 part in 65,536. This fine 16-bit resolution helps reduce unwanted frequencies generated by steps in the output waveform.

RCO boards can transfer data via programmed I/O, interrupts, or PCI bus-mastering direct memory access. Output waveforms are updated via a synchronous channel list and a 64-ksample FIFO buffer.

The boards come with two 20-MHz 16-bit counter/ timers. Six TTL-level digital inputs can be used for control or programmed for counter/timer functions.

In addition to D/A boards - now shipping from stock - CyberResearch, Inc., also offers rugged industrial displays and PCs, as well as CPU cards, data-acquisition, and motion-control systems. For more product information, call Joe Tetreault at 800-341-2525, or visit www.cyberresearch.com.
