ProDAQ 3610 48-Channel DIO Function Card

Description:

The ProDAQ 3610 high-speed DIO function card is a high-density card that fits into ProDAQ VXIbus motherboards and LXI function card carriers. This high-speed DIO card has 48 channels and is designed for demanding applications ranging from normal slow digital input/output to high-speed pattern generation and pattern recognition. The card provides the user with 384 input/output channels if eight DIO function cards are fitted to one ProDAQ motherboard.

Users can configure the 48 channels as input or output channels in groups of eight. To achieve high throughput rates, a 16-bit, 2 kS, or 16 kS onboard FIFO is used for the data handling. The ProDAQ 3610 also can operate in repetitive or strobed input/output mode. The input triggers can come either from the motherboard or from the front-panel as an active-low TTL level, and can be generated by the system clock or by a clock divider. The output triggers can be directed either to the motherboard as a pulse or level trigger, to the VXI backplane, or to the output connector. An alarm trigger can be generated after a predefined time, by the FIFO or by software command.
