24-bit 16-Channel, 8-DIO ADC DAQ PC Card - AD218
The AD218 uses a 24-bit Sigma Delta A-to-D converter to produce very high resolution measurements, typically up to 21 effective bits when sampling at 50 or 60Sample/sec. The card consumes very little power and so is ideal for portable instrumentation.
Technical Features
 |
24-bit Sigma Delta A-to-D converter, optimized for sample rates of less than a few hundred samples per second. Max sample rate is 1KSample/sec at reduced resolution |
|
16-channel fault protect input mux switchable between single ended and differential topology |
|
Input ranges are software configurable from +2.5V/-2.0V down to +/-19.5mV in bipolar mode, or from 2.5V to 19.5mV in unipolar mode |
|
Power is available at the edge connector for signal conditioning, powering sensors etc |
|
Built in 16-bit counter with clock and gate inputs for event monitoring |
|
8 general purpose digital I/O lines are available for control and status monitoring, each being programmable as input or output and having TTL compatible input thresholds, and CMOS type output drive capability |
 |
Card comes with Elan's Card Center Pro software with kernel driver and data handling module, plus a top level Win32 GUI with source code to act as a starting point for your own development. Full hardware register data is provided to allow exact tailoring for bespoke applications |
|
Drivers for DOS, Win9x, Me, NT4, 2000, XP |
|
Automatic O.S. recognition and configuration. Hot swappable PCMCIA 2.1+ compliant TypeII design |
 |
Power consumption: Typical 20mA at 5V fully active |
 |
Input mux channels can withstand voltages up to +/-35V with the card powered or +/-25V if not powered |
 |
Supplied with 1m Type30 cable. Connector latches into PC Card for security. Terminates to DB37 Female with male screw jacks. Custom cabling available on request to set different gains and / or to offer dual coax to BNC connection or similar for connection to accelerometers |
|
Can be fitted with Elan's unique Strain Relief Assembly to ruggedize the PC Card to cable connection (optional extra), product code "SRA1" |
*DOS support requires Card and Socket Services e.g. SystemSoft or Award
