Measurement Computing PCM-DAS08 - Manual (Page 5)

1 INTRODUCTION
The PCM-DAS08 is a data acquisition and control board for IBM PC compatible
computers with PCMCIA-type slots. The heart of the board is an analog to digital
converter. Analog signals are routed to the A/D converter via an 8:1 multiplexer
controlled by a register. The analog input range is fixed at +/-5V but the board can be
ordered in custom ranges.
A/D conversions can be triggered by an on-board pacer clock, an external pacer input,
or software polling.
Digital I/O lines (three in and three out) provide a means of sensing and controlling
discrete events.
