FeaturePak DAQ module

9 June 2010 Computer/Embedded Technology

Diamond Systems has unveiled the world’s first data acquisition (DAQ) I/O module compatible with the newly introduced FeaturePak embedded I/O expansion module standard. Despite its diminutive size, the FP-DAQ1616 integrates Diamond’s newest and fastest analog I/O technology, and interfaces to host systems via the FeaturePak host interface’s high-speed PCI Express bus interface.

The board provides sixteen 16-bit A/D inputs, sampling at 2 MHz and supported with a 16 kilosample FIFO for reliable data collection in any environment. Advanced A/D features include programmable input ranges, polarity, mode and FIFO threshold. The module also offers sixteen 16-bit D/A output channels, with programmable range and polarity. It incorporates auto-calibration technology with independent calibration factors for each input and output range, which ensures maximum A/D and D/A accuracy across all operating modes and throughout the entire -40°C to +85°C extended operating temperature range.

Other features provided by the FP-DAQ1616 include seven 8-bit digital I/O ports (with a mix of bit-wide and byte-wide direction control), two 32-bit up/down counter/timers with programmable input source and gate, four 24-bit pulse-width modulation circuits with 0-100% duty cycle, and a watchdog timer.

Diamond supplies a universal driver software toolkit at no extra charge with the board, to ease the task of supporting its data acquisition functions in applications under Linux, Windows XP, Windows Embedded Standard and Windows Embedded CE. The toolkit also includes demo programs and example code for each supported OS.
