The UMDAS 0802DA features eight analog inputs, two 12-bit analog outputs, 16 digital I/O connections, and one
32-bit external event counter.

inputs. The 16 digital I/O lines are independently selectable as input or output in two 8-bit ports. The 32-bit
counter can count TTL pulses. A SYNC (synchronization) input/output line allows you to pace the analog input
acquisition of one USB module from the clock output of another.
