Whilst the PC market has in general moved over wholesale to the PCI bus, data acquisition board suppliers have seen many of their customers reluctant to make the change from the ISA bus, and have accordingly continued to concentrate on ISA designs. But the dam has broken, and data acquisition system designers are now embracing PCI wholeheartedly. Fortunately, at least one major manufacturer is more than ready.
In fact, the largest collection of PCI-bus compatible data acquisition boards available is listed in this new dedicated ComputerBoards catalogue. Automatic hardware calibration is a feature of all the multifunction analogue I/O boards, so you don't have to adjust potentiometers or use external calibration equipment to optimise the board's performance in the field. Correction coefficients are stored in non-volatile on-board memory and each board has a precision voltage reference, so stability and precision are guaranteed. Setting up the PCI boards is consequently easy, and measurements can be relied on even as components age.
These new boards let you use newer, faster, more powerful PCI-bus computers for data acquisition and control. It's easy to transfer existing applications too. For a free copy of the 24-page publication, contact the Adept data acquisition team today. |
