Flexible Voltage Output Range
MIC-3723/3723R provides a fixed voltage output range at ±10V to fulfill
the flexible range needed for various applications. You can define a spe-
cific voltage output range and output the data format via the enclosed
software utility and driver.
Keep Output Values after System Reset
You can independently set the eight outputs to different ranges: ±10V,
0~20mA or 4~20mA, and all the ranges are software selectable. When the
system is hot reset (power not shut off), MIC-3723/3723R can either
retain the last analog output values, or return to its default configuration,
depending on jumper settings. This practical function eliminates danger
caused by operation errors after unexpected system resets.
BoardID Switch
MIC-3723/3723R has a built-in DIP Switch that helps define each card’s
unique identifier when multiple MIC-3723/3723R cards have been
installed in the same PC chassis. The BoardID switch setting function is
very useful when you build a system with multiple MIC-3723/3723R
cards. With correct BoardID settings, you can easily identify and access
each card during hardware configuration and software programming.
