ACL-8316/12
High Resolution/Performance DAS Card with FIFO
Up to 100 KHz, Windows 3.1 / Windows 95 / Windows NT supported


Description

The ACL-8316/12 series DAS cards are high resolution and high performance, data acquisition cards based on the 16-bit PC/ISA Bus architecture. Both ACL-8316 and ACL-8312 share a common architecture and core features making each card ideal for logging and signal analysis applications.

The ACL-8316/12 series features continuous, high speed, gap-free data acquisition under Windows or DOS environments. An on-board FIFO buffer and 16-bit DMA data transfer allow the acquisition of large amounts of data without losing data. The channel auto-scanning lets a high speed acquisition in a sequential order to select channel.

A LITE version is available for both cards to cost down on applications that do not need D/A analog output channels.
