timing event. The AT E Series boards have the Real-Time System
Integration (RTSI) bus to solve this problem. The RTSI bus consists of
our RTSI bus interface and a ribbon cable to route timing and trigger
signals between several functions on as many as five DAQ boards in
your PC.
The AT E Series boards can interface to an SCXI system so that you can
acquire over 3,000 analog signals from thermocouples, RTDs, strain
gauges, voltage sources, and current sources. You can also acquire or
generate digital signals for communication and control. SCXI is the
instrumentation front end for plug-in DAQ boards.
Detailed specifications of the AT E Series boards are in Appendix A,
Specifications.
