DAQCARD-AO-2DC

National Instruments DAQCard-AO-2DC Analog Output and Digital I/O Card
Features

• 2 12-Bit DACs
• 16 Bits of Digital I/O Lines
• 2 Channels of Voltage or Current Outputs

The National Instruments DAQCard-AO-2DC Analog Output and Digital I/O Card is an analog output and digital I/O device for PC/XT/AT, IBM Personal System 2 (PS/2) models 25 and 30 and Macintosh computers equipped with PCMCIA Type II slot. Each device has two 12-bit DACs and current output circuitry providing two channels of voltage or current outputs. You can use the voltage or current outputs in set-point types of applications. Each device also provides 16 bits of digital I/O lines. You can install the DAQCard-AO-2DC on PCs and Macintosh computers equipped with a PCMCIA Type II slot.

The low cost of a system based on the DAQCard-AO-2DC makes it ideal for laboratory work in industrial and academic environments. You can use the analog output channels to generate experimental stimuli, to control machines and processes, and to generate analog functions. You can use the digital I/O lines to switch external devices, such as transistors and solid-state relays, and to read the status of external digital logic.

Your AO-2DC device, used in conjunction with the computer, is a versatile, cost-effective platform for laboratory test, measurement, and control. The additional advantages of small size, light weight, and low power consumption make the DAQCard-AO-2DC ideal for use in portable computers. This portability makes remote data acquisition practical. The DAQCard-AO-2DC requires very little power when operating, thus extending the life of the computer batteries.
