Introduction

The PCI-9118 Series is a family of high performance data acquisition boards with the PCI bus interface. All members of this family share common architecture and core features. It is an ideal DAQ card for high speed, gap-free data acquisition applications. The following unique features make the PCI-9118 suitable for high performance applications.

Channel/Gain Queue high speed scanning
A 256-location channel/gain queue on each PCI-9118 card allows high speed data acquisition with different gains on each channel and in non-sequential order using bus-mastering DMA and FIFO interrupt based on data transfer. 

Gap-free/high performance in Windows Applications
The on-board 1024 locations of FIFO ensure that high-speed data acquisition can be maintained reliably under Windows O.S. 

The data can be transferred through bus-mastering DMA with gap-free, continuous high throughput, even for large a amount of data.
