SAN DIEGO, CA - ACCES I/O Products announces the model LPCI-A16-16A, a new high-speed PCI 16-bit multifunction analog I/O board for precision PC-based measurement, analysis, monitoring and control in space-limited embedded applications, including thin-client and high-density rack-mount servers. The high-speed LPCI-A16-16A provides 500k samples/second, with 16-bit resolution, for the board's 16 single-ended or eight differential analog input channels. Standard features also include dual 12-bit analog outputs, 16 digital I/O lines and an 8254 with three 16-bit counter/timers. An excellent price/performance value, the LPCI-A16-16A meets the MD2 Low Profile PCI Bus Specification and can be installed in any 3.3V or 5V PCI or PCI-X slot.

The LPCI-A16-16A features 11 standard analog input ranges and an extremely quiet front end. A unique channel-by-channel programmable gain feature enables measurement of an assortment of large and small signals in one scan-all under hardware control at over 400 k samples/second. The board's data FIFO and ability to trigger the A/D in real time assures synchronized sampling that is unaffected by other computer operations-an essential requirement for signal, vibration and transient analysis where high data rates must be sustained for short periods of time. Standard LPCI-A16-16A features include:

  • 500 kHz sampling rate
  • 16 single-ended or eight differential inputs, unipolar or bipolar
  • Autocalibration and oversampling for accurate data
  • Unique channel-by-channel programmable gain feature
  • 1024 sample data FIFO for A/D (optional up to 64k samples)
  • Two 12-bit D/A outputs and 16 digital I/O lines
  • Software-selectable synchronous, asynchronous, and timed trigger modes
  • PC/104 version also availableThe LPCI-A16-16A is supported for use in most operating systems and includes a DOS, Linux and Windows 95/98/Me/NT/ 2000/XP/2003-compatible software package.

This includes sample programs and source code in "C" and Pascal for DOS, and Visual Basic, Delphi, C++ Builder, and Visual C++ for Windows.

Also included is a graphical set-up program in Windows.

Linux support includes installation files and basic samples for programming from user level via an open source kernel driver.ACCES I/O Products, Inc. supplies an extensive range of analog, digital, serial communication, and isolated I/O boards and solutions.

ACCES also offers complete systems, integration services, and enclosures with a quick turn-around on custom projects including software.

Our products are designed for use with PC/104, PCI, Low Profile PCI, EBX, EPIC, USB, Ethernet and ISA buses, as well as distributed and wireless I/O.

All hardware comes with a 30-day, no-risk return policy and a three-year warranty.
