DescriptionKeithley DAS-16 PC6102, PC6542 Data Acquisition Modules | High-speed Analog I/O.The DAS-16 Series consists of the DAS-16, DAS-16F, and DAS-16G high-speed analog and digital interface boards for ISA-bus compatible PCs. The boards install directly into a computer expansion slot, turning it into a high-speed, high-precision data acquisition instrument. Each member of the DAS-16 Series has similar functionality with the following differences: The DAS-16 has switch selectable input ranges and a 50 ksamples/s maximum input rate. The DAS-16F has switch-selectable input ranges and a 100 ksamples/s maximum input rate. The DAS-16G1 and DAS-16G2 have software-programmable input ranges and a 70 ksamples/s maximum input rate.The DAS-16 Series offers 16 single-ended or 8 differential analog inputs with 12-bit resolution. The inputs are switch-selectable for unipolar (e.g., 0 to 10V) or bipolar (e.g., ±10V) input ranges.A 3-channel programmable interval timer (Intel 8254) provides timing for the A/D or can be used for generating frequency outputs at any rate from 2.5MHz to 1 pulse/hr.Two channels of multiplying 12-bit D/A converters provide analog outputs. The DAS-16 Series uses an onboard –5V reference for a 0 to +5V output range, or external references can be used to generate other output ranges.Eight bits of digital I/O (4 input and 4 output) allow the DAS-16 Series to interface to a variety of digital signals. These digital bits can control multiplexers, read external status, gate the counter/timer, etc.
