Continuous Analog Output
The PCI-1712 provides two analog output channels. Both of them can
perform continuous waveform output. The analog output can be up to
500kS/s for each analog output channel. Or you can load a cyclic
waveform into an on-board FIFO, which will continuously output the
cyclic waveform. The on-board FIFO of the PCI-1712 can store 2 to 32K
samples for the waveform output.
On-board Programmable Multifunction Counter/Timer
The PCI-1712/1712L is equipped with three programmable multifunc-
tion counters/timers, which can serve as a pacer trigger for A/D
conversion. The counter chip is an 82C54 or equivalent, which
incorporates three 16-bit channels on a 10 MHz clock. And then we
enhance the gate and clock input function for more applications, of
event counting, pulse generation, duty cycle frequency generation,
one shot, frequency measurement and pulse width measurement.
Note:
✎ Pace trigger determines how fast A/D conversion will be done in pacer
trigger mode.
✎ For detailed specifications of the PCI-1712/1712L, please refer to
Appendix A, Specifications.
