Data Translation has released its DT3010-268, a multifunction PCI-bus module offering a standard off-the-shelf SCSI-3 connector.
Using a standard cable, users are now able to connect more easily to the data acquisition board.
The DT3010-268 has all the features and benefits of the popular DT3010, but instead of having one 68-pin and one 50-pin connector, the new board has two standard 68-pin connectors.
This connection scheme gives OEMs and end users a more convenient way to design-in Data Translationûs data acquisition board products.
Additionally, the DT3010-268 adds a clock/trigger enable line that provides more control and flexibility to the external a/d timing circuitry.
This feature also allows users to repeat the function via external hardware control.
The flexible triggering modes and trigger events allow users to acquire data using post-trigger mode, pre-trigger mode, or about-trigger mode.
The trigger event can be a digital trigger, a dedicated analog trigger, or one of the analog input channels.
Such capabilities enable users to focus on the region of interest and eliminate unnecessary utilisation of the CPU or system memory.
The board is ideal for applications requiring a few high-speed inputs or a large number of medium-speed channels. For example, ultrasonic non-destructive testing and engine testing can take advantage of the few channel/high input speed configurations.
Automotive crash testing and process monitoring can take advantage of the many input channels at medium speeds. Distinguishing features of DT3010-268 include * 32 single-ended or 16-differential analog inputs; * 16 digital I/O channels; * simultaneous analog input and analog output at full speed; * ENOB specification guaranteeing outstanding total system accuracy; and * -two dynamic digital outputs.
Included free with the board is Data Translationûs Omni CD, the industryûs most comprehensive software support bundle.
The package includes Quick DataAcq, a menu-driven, ready-to-run application; DataAcq SDK, a software development kit; TestPoint, an object-oriented, drag-and-drop software demo and run-time application; Scope instrument menu-driven application; evaluation versions of TestPoint and VEE Pro 6.0 with MATLAB Script; and 32-bit Windows 98, 2000, and ME device drivers.
"With the DT3010-268, we are improving the usability of the board," said Tim Ludy, Data Translationûs Product Marketing Manager for data acquisition.
"The enhanced DT3010-268 is an example of listening to the voice of the customer.
Although this may appear to be a relatively simple improvement, the impact for our customers is tremendous." The DT3010-268 is available immediately at a cost of œ1,695.00.
