The PCI-6208 Series products are analog output cards with high resolution and high density. All these products are based on the basic version, PCI-6208V. These cards can be used to replace the old ISA bus analog output cards, and can provide better resolution as well

as PCI plug and play function.

PCI-6208V

The PCI-6208V can offer 8 identical voltage outputs channels. Each channel provides ±10V voltage outputs and 16-bit resolution, 14-bit accuracy is guaranteed. Therefore, this card can cover all of the 12bit uni-polar or bipolar applications. The unique features of the card can achieve high density of 8 channels and create best performance/cost ratio.

PCI-6216V/EXP-8V

PCI-6216V is a higher density voltage output card. It combines the PCI-6208V and EXP-8V expansion board together. The EXP-8V provides extra 8 voltage output channels, therefore, the PCI-6216V can be extended up to 16 channels.

D/A Converter: PCM-56

All of the PCI-6208/16 analog output channels are identical. Each one is equipped with the PCM-56 which is a state-of-the-art, fully monotonic, digital to analog converter. This device employs ultra-stable nichrome (NiCr) thin-film resistors to provide monotonicity, low distortion, and low differential linearity error over long period of time.

PCI-6208A/EXP-8A

The PCI-6208A is a high performance, 16-bit current and voltage output card, combining PCI-6208V with EXP-8A. The EXP-8A includes 8 precision voltage-to-current converters / transmitters, which converts PCI-6208V voltage output into current source output. Each current output channel is pro-grammable of 0- 20-mA, 4-20mA, or 5-25mA ranges.

Applications

• Industrial process control

• Pressure / temperature transmitters

• Current source for test equipment

• Servo control

• Function generator

• Communication by current signal
