AP236: 16-bit DAC Module
Brand: AcromagThe AP236 outputs analog voltage signals to drive up to 8 devices. When used with a carrier that holds four AcroPack modules, up to 32 voltage outputs can be obtained from a single card cage slot.
Each output channel has its own 16-bit D/A converter (DAC). Individual DACs are faster, and they eliminate glitches typically caused by the re-acquisition process of sample and holds found on multiplexed output boards.
Individual channels also have double-buffered data latches. You can select to update each output when it is written to, or to update all outputs simultaneously. Simultaneous outputs better simulate linear movements in motion processes.
Features- PCI Express Generation 1 interface
