USB Module Have 12 Simultaneous Input Channels

November 28th, 2005

The DT9836 Series have twelve separate 16-bit A/D channels, enabling it to guarantee less than 1 ns aperture uncertainty. Each analog input on the DT9836 has its own A/D converter to eliminate phase shift between channels, a common problem with a multiplexed architecture where all inputs share one A/D converter. The module simultaneously samples all analog and digital inputs and outputs, which gives uses a data throughput of 225 kHz per channel.

Key features include:

• All subsystems operate synchronously at 36 MHz
• 6 or 12 simultaneous, 16-bit analog inputs at 225 kHz per channel
• Two 16-bit analog outputs for waveform generation at 500 kHz per channel
• 16 digital input and 16 digital output lines for external event synchronization
• Two 32-bit counter time channels offer flexible clocking and triggering
• Three quadrature decoders allow determination of X/Y positioning and rotation

The modules ship with the Data Acquisition OMNI CD, which includes device drivers for Windows 2000/XP, an evaluation version of DT Measure Foundry, Data Translation’s test and measurement application builder, and several additional ready-to-measure applications. The modules can, of course, be used with most test and measurement applications, including LabVIEW and Visual Basic.

The DT9836 Series modules are available in two packaging configurations: a BNC connection box and an OEM embedded version with prices starting at $1,295.00. The modules will begin shipping November 30, 2005.
