Chapter 1  Introduction

The PCI-1710U/HGU is a PCI-Bus multifunction card for IBM PC/XT/
AT or compatible computers. It offers the five most desired measurement 
and control functions:
•  12-bit A/D conversion
•  D/A conversion
•  Digital input
•  Digital output
•  Timer/counter.

A programmable-gain instrument amplifier lets you acquire different 
input signals without external signal conditioning. An onboard 4K word 
FIFO buffer provides high-speed data transfer and predictable perfor-
mance under Windows. Automatic channel scanning circuitry and 
onboard SRAM let you perform multiple-channel A/D conversion and 
individual gains for each channel.

The following sections of this chapter will provide further information 
about features of the multifunction cards, a Quick Start for installation, 
together with some brief information on software and accessories for the 
PCI-1710U cards.
