The analog APCIe-3021 input board is available with 16, 8, or 4 single-ended or with 8 or 4 differential inputs. The signals are acquired with a resolution of 16 bits. The following input ranges can be set via software for each channel: 0-10 V, ±10 V, 0-5 V, ±5 V, 0-2 V, ±2 V, 0-1 V, ±1 V, 0-20 mA (optional). Gains are possible for small voltages. There are different acquisition modes and trigger settings to control data acquisition. The APCIe-3021 has a PCI Express DMA controller for direct data exchange with the PC memory. The board is designed with 500 V optical isolation, has input filters and is protected against overvoltages. The APCIe-3021 is equipped with 4 opto-isolated digital inputs and outputs. One digital input is interruptible.
Free drivers for Windows 7/Vista/XP (32-bit) and Windows 2000, LabVIEWTM from version 5.01 and LabWindows/CVITM are delivered as standard, as well as samples for Microsoft .Net, VC++ 5.0, Borland C++ 5.01, Visual Basic 5.0 and Delphi 4.0. In order to guarantee compatibility with PCI boards from Addi-Data, PCI Express boards are supplied with the ADDIPACK universal driver. Drivers for other operating systems such as Linux and software packages are available on request.
