Walpole, MA (October 17, 2007) — United Electronic Industries (UEI) released the DNA-AO-332 high density analog output board. The board provides 32 channels of 16-bit resolution analog output with a ±10 Volt output range. The new board is capable of driving ±10 mA while per-channel digital offset and gain calibration limits gain/offset errors to ±450 µV and ±305 µV respectively. Compatible with UEI’s popular PowerDNA, UEIPAC, and UEIModbus “Cubes,” the DNA-AO-332 provides up to 192 analog outputs in a single, 4 x 4 x 5.8 in. cube.
A 1024 sample FIFO on each channel allows each D/A to be updated at 10 kHz without data loss. Double buffering the outputs combined with the use of low glitch D/As make the DNA-AO-332 an ideal solution for generating low frequency wave forms or providing highly accurate switched stimuli. All outputs may be set to update simultaneously if desired.
Software for the DNA-AO-332 is provided in the UEIDAQ Framework. The Framework provides a comprehensive, easy to use API that supports all popular programming and operating systems including Windows, Vista, Linux and most real-time operating systems (e.g., QNX, RTX, RT Linux). Finally, the board is fully supported by LabVIEW, MATLAB/Simulink, DASYLab or any application supporting ActiveX, OPC or Modbus TCP control.
“The DNA-AO-332 board will allow large scale, analog output systems to fit in an amazingly small package,” according to UEI President Shaun Miller. “The addition of this high density, high accuracy analog output board allows the popular Cube platforms to address many new control applications in a wide assortment of industries.”

About the “Cube”
UEI’s powerful “Cube” architecture is a compact (4 x 4 x 4 in. or 4 x 4 x 5.8 in.) Ethernet based I/O platform. It may be deployed in four different configurations. These are: 1) Ethernet I/O systems slaved to a host PC, 2) Stand alone Data Logger/Recorder, 3) Linux-based Programmable Automation Controller (PAC), or 4) Modbus TCP based I/O slave. Each Cube consists of a core module (that holds the processor and network interface) along with three or six open I/O slots. Users select the deployment option that meets their requirements. Users then match the Cube’s I/O configuration to their application by selecting the appropriate boards. With over 25 I/O boards available, there’s sure to be a configuration to meet almost any application requirement. The six slot Cube provides up to: 150 analog inputs, 192 analog outputs, 288 digital I/O, 48 counter or quadrature channels, 72 ARINC-429 channels and/or 24 Serial or CAN-bus ports.
