Overview
The DT9834 Series combines the functionality of multiple boards in a single
USB 2.0 module to provide simultaneous
analog input, analog output, digital I/O,
and counter/timer operations. Available
in a number of configurations, the
DT9834 Series provides maximum flexibility - select the number of analog I/O
channels and the analog I/O resolution
you need, as well as the packaging configuration for your application. All modules feature 16 digital input lines, 16 digital output lines, and 5 counter/timer
channels.
High-Speed, High-Resolution
Analog Inputs
DT9834 Series modules are available in
three analog input channel configurations: 32 single-ended/16 differential, 16
single-ended/8 differential, or no analog
inputs. All analog input signals are multiplexed to a single analog-to-digital converter. All modules feature sampling
rates up to 500 kSamples/s and 16-bit
resolution on both the analog in and analog out.
Four programmable gains (1, 2, 4, and
8) are provided to support input signal
ranges of +/- 10 V, +/-5 V, +/-2.5 V, and
+/-1.25 V. By configuring each analog
input channel for the input range that
you want, you can connect many output
transducers directly to the module.
Flexible Acquisition Modes
Using the DT9834 Series, you can
acquire a single sample from a single
analog input channel or multiple samples from multiple analog input channels. A 1024-location channel-gain list
gives you the flexibility to sample non-
sequential analog input channels, analog input channels with different gains,
and digital inputs and counter/timer
channels with the analog input channels you want at the A/D sample rate.
DT9834 Series modules provide two
ways to cycle through the channel-gain
list:
■
Continuous scan mode – Choose this
mode if you want to accurately control
the period between conversions of individual channels in the channel-gain
list.
■
Triggered scan mode – Choose this
mode if you want to accurately control
both the period between conversions of
individual channels in the channel-gain
list and the period between each scan.
This mode emulates a sample-and-hold
function and is useful when synchronizing or controlling external equipment, or when acquiring a buffer of data
on each trigger. Using this mode, you
can acquire up to 262,144 samples per
trigger (256 times per trigger x 1024location channel-gain list).
High-Speed, High-Resolution
Analog Outputs
DT9834 Series modules are available in
two analog output channel configurations: 4 deglitched analog output channels, or no analog output channels.
Each analog output channel has its
own digital-to-analog converter and
provides an output signal range of +/10 V with a resoluton of 16-bits. You
can achieve a maximum update rate of
500 kSamples/second.
You can update the analog output
channels as you are acquiring analog
input data for gap-free simultaneous
stimulus and response. In addition,
you can update the digital output lines
with the analog output channels at the
analog output rate.
Flexible Output Modes
Using the DT9834 Series, you can output
a single value from a single analog output channel or multiple values from multiple analog output channels. An outputchannel list gives you the flexibility of
updating only the analog output channels you want or updating the digital
output lines with specified analog output
channels at the D/A clock rate. You can
update analog output channels at up to
500 kSamples/s.
The DT9834 features the following
output modes:
■
Continuous output mode – Choose this
mode if you want to accurately control
the period between conversions of individual output channels in the outputchannel list.
■
Waveform mode – Use this mode if you
want to output waveforms repetitively
from an output FIFO on the module,
minimizing communication overhead
with the host computer. If you specify
only one channel in the output-channel
list, you can load a waveform containing up to 128 kSamples into the output
FIFO. If you specify all the analog output channels and the digital output
lines in the output-channel list, you can
load a waveform containing up to 24
kSamples into the output FIFO. Using
waveform mode, you can update multiple channels at up to 500 kSamples/s.
