PCI-1710U/HGU/UL offers the following main features:
PCI-Bus Plug & Play
The PCI-1710U cards use a PCI controller to interface the card to the PCI
bus. The controller fully implements the PCI bus specification Rev 2.2.
All configurations related to the bus, such as base address and interrupt
assignment, are automatically controlled by software. No jumper or
switch is required for user configuration.
Automatic Channel/Gain Scanning
PCI-1710U/HGU/UL features an automatic channel/gain scanning cir-
cuit. This circuit, instead of your software, controls multiplexer switching
during sampling. On-board SRAM stores different gain values for each
channel. This combination lets user perform multi-channel high-speed
sampling (up to 100 kHz) for each channel.
Onboard FIFO Memory
There are 4K samples FIFO for A/D (AI) on PCI-1710U/HGU/UL. This
is an important feature for faster data transfer and more predictable per-
formance under Windows system.
