Introduction
The ACL-8112 is a high performance, high speed multi -function data
acquisition card for IBM PC or compatible computers.
The ACL-8112 series is designed to combine all data acquisition functions,
such as A/D, D/A, DIO and timer/counter into a single board, Th e high-end
specifications of the card makes it ideal for a wide range of applications
requiring high speed. Figure 1.1 shows the block diagram of the ACL-8112.
The ACL-8112 Series consists of three models, the ACL-8112HG, ACL-
8112DG and ACL-8112PG. The ACL-8112HG provides special high-gain
programmable instrument amplifier for low level input applications, such as
measurement of thermo-coupling signals. The ACL-8112DG provides high
speed sampling rates ( up to 100 KHz) at all gains ( x1, x2, x4, and x8) and
the ACL-8112PG provides 16 single -ended inputs with sampling up to 100
KHz with 5 levels of gain (x1, x2, x4, x8, x16)
All ACL-8112 Series feature 16 single-ended inputs or 8 differential inputs, 2
12-bit double-buffered analog outputs, 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs,
and one timer/counter channel.
