The AT-MIO-16F-5 is a high-performance multifunction analog, digital, and timing I/O board for the PC. The AT-MIO-16F-5 has a 5 µsec, 12-bit, sampling ADC; 16 single-ended or 8 differential channels (expandable with AMUX-64T multiplexer board); programmable gains of 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100; a guaranteed maximum rate of at least 200 ksamples/sec; a 256-word A/D FIFO buffer to obtain the highest possible data acquisition rate; and internal or external A/D timing. The AT-MIO-16F-5 also has two double-buffered, multiplying, 12-bit DACs; unipolar and bipolar voltage output; an onboard DAC reference voltage of 10 V; internal timer and external signal update capability for waveform generation; onboard I/O hardware auto calibration circuitry; eight digital I/O lines able to sink up to 24 mA of current; three independent 16-bit counter/timers for frequency counting, event counting, and pulse output applications; timer-generated interrupts; high-performance RTSI bus interface; four triggers for system-level timing; and full PC I/O channel DMA capability with both analog input and analog output. If additional analog inputs are required, you can use the AMUX-64T multiplexer board. This four-to-one multiplexer can process 64 single-ended or 32 differential inputs. Up to four AMUX-64Ts can be cascaded to obtain 256 single-ended inputs.

The AT-MIO-16F-5, with its multifunction analog, digital, and timing I/O, can be used in many applications for automation of machine and process control, level monitoring and control, instrumentation, electronic testing, and various other functions. The multi-channel analog input can be used for such functions as signal and transient analysis, data logging, and chromatography. The two analog output channels can be used for such functions as machine and process control, analog function generation, 12-bit resolution voltage source, and programmable signal attenuation. The eight TTL-compatible digital I/O lines can be used for machine and process control, inter-machine communication, and relay switching control. The three 16-bit counter/timers can be used for such functions as pulse and clock generation, timed control of laboratory equipment, and frequency, event, and pulse-width measurement. With all of these functions on one board, laboratory processes can be automatically monitored and controlled.

The AT-MIO-16F-5 is interfaced to the National Instruments RTSI bus. With this bus, National Instruments AT Series boards can send timing signals to each other. The AT-MIO-16F-5 can send signals from the onboard counter/timer to another board, or another board can control single and multiple A/D conversions on the AT-MIO-16F-5.
