Cincinnati, Ohio (March 24, 2005) – Advantech Corporation, Industrial Automation Group introduced a new member to its family of PCI-bus analog input DAQ cards. PCI-1747U has 64 analog input channels, 16-bit resolution, and a 250 kS/s sampling rate. Unlike many cards in the market, the PCI-1747U can run at 250 kS/s even when different ranges are used on its 64 channels.For engineers that have been without critical instruments because of recalibration, there is a particularly welcome feature - a built-in auto-calibration function which can reduce downtime hours to seconds.The PCI-1747U features an automatic channel/gain/SD/BU scanning circuit.
This circuit controls multiplexer switching during sampling in a way that is more efficient than software implementation. Onboard SRAM stores different gain, SD (Single-Ended/Differential) and BU (Bipolar/Unipolar) values for each channel.
This combination makes it possible to perform multi-channel high-speed sampling with different gain, SD and BU values for each channel.The high resolution, high speed and flexible input type make PCI-1747U suitable for a wide range of application requirements where intense analog inputs but minimum demand of PCI slots is required.In addition to high performance, the card also includes standard features such as Advantech’s BoardID switch and plug-and-play function for easier configuration as well as a universal PCI interface to support both 3.3 and 5 volts. Device drivers are available for Windows® XP, 2000 and 98.
In addition, ActiveX control for VB .NET, C# .NET programming tools and LabVIEW driver for LabVIEW are also available and free for you.The PCI-1747U has a list price of $$995.
