SDM-AO4A Four Channel Analog
Output
1. Function
The SDM-AO4A is designed to output four continuous voltages at levels set
by a Campbell Scientific datalogger.
The SDM-AO4A is a replacement for the SDM-AO4. However, the SDM-
AO4A offers several new features including a 0-10 V Mode, a choice of
synchronous or sequential operation, and SDM signature checking. In
addition, the SDM-AO4A has higher resolution, improved accuracy, and high
drive current for sensor excitation.
